I’m meeting with my accountant later this week, but what’s the general setup of this tax credit? Quick google suggests 80% of the net purchase price (after trade-in) is deductible?

I’ve never heard of a tax credit for purchasing a vehicle outside of an electric one.

It’s a tax deduction in lieu of mileage write offs, not a tax credit.

Are you a business owner?

It’s bonus depreciation and will only apply if you bought the vehicle for business purposes. It’s 80% of the net purchase price for qualifying vehicles placed in service By end of year. Even then if you use it for both personal and business you can only take the ratio you use it for business.

As another poster pointed out, you can’t take this AND mileage. Only one or the other.

Not really a cap. But, you’ll have depreciation recapture if you exchange it or sell before the depreciation would have been realized.

Next year it drops to 60% and then goes down again each year by 20% and phases out after 2026.

Does the trade in have anything to do with the value of the asset or is it just about the actual price of the vehicle?

80% now

Down to 60% next year. No cap on the over 600k

Now you know why everyone is buying GWagons

And that's true for the remainder of owning the vehicle while it's in business use. You'll have to keep gas receipts each time you fuel up every year moving forward and then allocate your ratio to your total gas and vehicle maintenance spend.

It’s on your basis in the vehicle. The feds aren’t idiots. If you purchase 100k vehicle and got 20k for a trade in the basis is 80k so that’s where it starts.

Forgot to do this: consult your cpa before acting on any advice in this thread.

Will I have to do detailed record keeping on gas and service like the guy above you said?
