I purchased a Honda in 2017 for $26,983 and immediately started using it for business X and for personal use, and took the standard mileage deduction every year through '21.
In 2022 I used the Honda for business X until May 23, then began using it for new business Y and for personal use. As well, I started using it for new business Z and for personal use on June 23.
On October 3 the Honda was totaled, and insurance paid $22,291 for the totaled vehicle. Using that money, I purchased a new Mazda for $33,244. My out of pocket cost was $10,953. The car was immediately used for business Y and business Z as well as personal use just as before.
Here was my Honda business usage in 2022:
?Jan 1-May 23: Business X. 1924 miles.
?May 23-Oct 3: Business Y. 103 miles.
?June 23-Oct 3: Business Z. 1638 miles.
?Jan 1-Oct 3: 6470 total miles driven (business+personal)
For each of the 3 business, TurboTax Self-Employed asks me the following:
---------------------------------------------
1) What is the sale price of the Honda?
---------------------------------------------
?For biz X, should this be the insurance payment of $22,291 * percent biz usage for biz X?
?For biz Y, should this be the insurance payment of $22,291 * percent biz usage for biz Y?
?For biz Z, should this be the insurance payment of $22,291 * percent biz usage for biz Z?
---------------------------------------------
2) What is the Honda's total cost?
---------------------------------------------
?For biz X, should this be the $26,983 original purchase price - calculated biz depreciation from when it started being used for biz X on Jan 1 or previous years?
?For biz Y, should this be the $26,983 original purchase price - calculated biz depreciation from when it started being used for biz Y on May 23?
?For biz Z, should this be the $26,983 original purchase price - calculated biz depreciation from when it started being used for biz Z on June 23?
---------------------------------------------
3) What is your gain/loss basis for the Honda?
---------------------------------------------
?Since I did not make any improvements to the car, is this the same as the original purchase price in 2017? $26,983?
---------------------------------------------
4) What is the depreciation equivalent of your standard mileage deduction prior to 2022 for the Honda?
---------------------------------------------
Should I calculate this using the IRS standard mileage rate of depreciation allowed as follows?
?2017: 2534 miles * 0.25 = $634
?2018: 5691 miles * 0.25 = $1423
?2019: 3852 miles * 0.26 = $1002
?2020: 350 miles * 0.27 = $95
?2021: 5171 miles * 0.26 = $1344
?Total = $4497
