I use a personal vehicle for our rental properties. I don't write off the purchase of the vehicle to any of our rental properties. I only write off the mileage driven that are specific to the rental properties. In 2023 we sold the vehicle and replaced it with a different one. Since I didn't list the vehicle as an asset thus never depreciating it, can I leave the purchase price and the sales price blank?

No. You have a taxable event for the vehicle sold because the standard mileage rate (SMR) has a depreciation component.

thank you so much for this. does this apply to any percentage of business use? I was reading somewhere that it only applied to 50% or more business use of a vehicle and my business use is only at 31%.
Yes, no matter what business percentage it was, the depreciation has to be recaptured when you dispose of the asset.
