This was not a business vehicle though I used it for work a majority of the time. I actually drove the newer vehicle longer 7 months , the older one 5 months. how do I fix this?
Only vehicles used for business should be reported. If it was not used for business, it should not be entered.
You used to report a vehicle traded in for another. The laws changed. Now you report it as sold for the price of the trade in value. It sounds like your taxes are correct, if this is a business vehicle.
Thank you Amy that only answers part of my question. I think the computation is not correct because I put in the wrong amount for the trade in value. I need to go back into the application. The dealership paid off the 9995 I owed on the 2016 Versa it is original value was 12000, not 16000 dollars. How do I make this correction?
Here is how to get back to the interview questions;
