To do this in TurboTax version for Home & Business,

  • Select Business
  • Select Business Income & Expenses
  • click Revisit
  • Pick your business and click Edit
  • Scroll down to the expenses to Vehicle and click Edit
  • On the Vehicle Summary, next to the vehicle, click Edit
  • Check the box for I stopped using this vehicle in 2020

Why is Turbotax asking all questions pertaining to vehicle use when we have indicated a particular vehicle was not used for the business this year?

What if I stopped using the vehicle for business only for this tax year and plan on using it again? Do I still check the box for "Stopped using this vehicle?

If you stopped using the vehicle for business in this tax year but plan to use it again for business in the future, you should still check the box for "Stopped using this vehicle in [tax year]". TurboTax treats this as a temporary stop for the current year and will prompt you to enter the date you stopped.

This helps TurboTax calculate your business use percentage correctly for the year you stopped using the vehicle.

If you resume business use in a future year, you can enter that information then without affecting this year's return.
