I purchased GMC Yukon 09/2023 and use it more than 85% business yet turbo tax is calculating business use at 28% presumably because purchased in Sept? Any suggestions?

Looking for 179 and bonus depreciation

Yes, because you placed the vehicle into service in September, your business use for the year is your business use percentage multiplied by 4/12 months. Even if the vehicle was used 100% for business, the percentage for the first year would be 33.33% (4/12 months).

Note that regular depreciation begins on the date the asset is placed into service. Your expense for the year would be 33.33% of the amount that would be calculated if you used the vehicle all year. Depreciation catches up at the end, so you do receive a full 5 years of depreciation if you keep the vehicle in service that long.
