40% partial business use of Asset in balance sheet

I reported the full asset price of the personal car ,and then defined 40% business use. However, I see in the balance sheet Turbotax Business generates, the asset cost being defaulted rather than the depreciable cost (40% of asset value). Is it correct? Shoud I override and move forward?

So you are saying the corporation doesn't own the vehicle and didn't pay for the vehicle??? 

 

If so, it doesn't belong on the corporate tax return.

It is correct, the percentage of use is for calculating depreciation, but for balance sheet purposes the full cost of the vehicle will be listed.

40% partial business use of Asset in balance sheet

@ThomasM125 so, if I understand your response fully: if I bought the car using a personal check, should the S-corp owe the owner(me) for the entire cost of the vehicle, even though only 40% of the usage is for business purpose? Otherwise, liabilities would not match the asset totals.

Does any one know whether what Turbotax Business does is correct -  including in the balance sheet the total value of the asset and it liability (when bought using personal checking account) for the partial business use vehicle?
