TWO MORE QUESTIONS ON NEW VEHICLE PURCHASES

Larry, thanks for all the information. I purchased a new vehicle for my business. Do I still get the new deduction that you talked about?

Terry

No. The new deduction is just for personal vehicles. You are already getting the deduction on your business return.

Larry, I purchased a new car in March. I am estimating that it will be 60% business and 40% personal. Can I still get the new deduction?

Cam

There has been no guidance from the IRS so I cannot be sure but my best guess is that you would get to take 40% of the taxes as a deduction. I will watch for more guidance from the IRS and let you know.
