Trump tax - businesses can depreciate 100% cost of 6,000 lb SUV in first year
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:09 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes Has anyone considered this in lieu of leasing a car through your business? Thanks to nutella for pointing this out in a thread yesterday.
Basically starting 2018 there are no limits to the amount of depreciation you can take in YEAR ONE for a "business vehicle" if it is a large truck weighing over 6000 pounds GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT.
Does not have to be limited to a new car either - you could buy a used land cruiser, range rover, whatever and still depreciate the entire thing for an effective 40% tax savings.
My first question is which large-ish SUV does xo recommend? My wife wants an SUV soon and we were considering a smaller SUV like an Outback or something, but this deal is great.
Qualifying SUVs include BMW X5, Mercedes G and GL, all the giant GM/Chevy SUV's, Range Rover, Tesla X, Nissan Armada, Toyata 4 runner and land cruiser, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, etc.

Second question is, I assume a law business cannot realistically continue leasing a business car AND buy a depreciated SUV in the same year. I am fine ending my lease and driving my wife's prius for a little bit. Would I be able to start leasing a new car (and deducting the payments) a year or two after buying the SUV, or would I have to wait longer. Seems to me that if you can depreciate a car in one year, you should not be required to use it for more than one year to take advantage of the business tax deduction for depreciation... |

Date: May 9th, 2018 3:00 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes absolutely.
definitely deduct lease payments, insurance and gas.
deduct all meals over $80. (you can only deduct 50% of this).
Deduct cell phone, home internet, any office type furniture or tech you buy.
Deduct a reasonable portion of your travel under the assumption you are doing client BD part of the time.
|
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:07 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space It is not clear whether you will be able to deduct 50% or 0% under the new tax bill.

Your income is high enough that it won’t raise eyebrows.
Also I’d ball out and get a cayenne or Tesla x. You’re getting a 40% discount so why not.
|
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:38 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space Why would you not just deduct the portion of the lease that Earl uses for his personal transportation? If his wife uses it 40% of the time for her own personal use and Earl uses it 60% of the time for work, he should be able to deduct 60% of it.
|
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:41 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt That's not how it works for business vs. personal cars. 10% is a personal car and your only shot is claiming mileage for the business use. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016083) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:52 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes So two full years of ownership? or one year and start the lease in year 2?
So I dump my BMW lease this year, buy the SUV in 2018, drive it and the prius in 2019 and lease a new car 2020? |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:24 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt Aren't you just going to pay most of it back in depreciation recapture if you change cars every year. And if you're also using it as a personal car I hope you're tracking mileage and treating it as taxable compensation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36015961) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:40 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space You used to be able to do a 1031 exchange on a business vehicle (and deduct sales price from the basis of the new vehicle), but the new tax code fucks that all up.

|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:54 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes i'm not changing cars every year.
I am keeping the SUV for my wife for 7-8 years. Just depreciating the entire purchase price (and deducting 90% of it) the first year. I will continue to lease new sedans or whatever every two or three years through my business while my business owns an "old" SUV which has been 100% depreciated and thrown away.
The only catch is that you pay income tax on selling the SUV since the tax basis is now $0, however after a few years it wont be that much and everyone lies about how much they sell cars for anyway. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:04 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt Your business cant just "give" your wife a car tax free if that's what you're saying. If your point is that the IRS probably won't catch you that's a different issue. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016268) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:17 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes yes the business will use the car for two years - then it is fully depreciated and useless. It will sit in my garage while I lease a new car and if my wife wants to drive it, the IRS wont know. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016368) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:25 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt Let me know how that works out when there's either an IRS audit or a car accident and somebody looks into who's on the title, who paid and deducted insurance premiums, whether it has business or commercial collision coverage, how anyone can drive a car that's "useless" (meaning, scrap value is zero, obviusly fully depreciated doesn't mean useless), etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016441) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:47 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes yes geico regularly sends claim information to the IRS to make sure no one other than the business employee is driving the business vehicle. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016631) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:02 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt Not what I'm saying. Geico will be interested if your wife kills someone in a car not properly insured for its use. The tax man would care if you're treating a personal car as a business asset. The tax man and anyone who wants to veil pierce your PC could be interested in how you commingled business / personal assets and basically transferred an asset from the entity to a shareholder's spouse for no value.
Not saying any of this is remotely likely to happen. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 4:26 PM Author: Stimulating kitty What? He and his wife can hold title together on vehicles used for business purposes and both drive them. Insurance in both their names. I don’t know why anything other than regular auto insurance is relevant either since the irs doesn’t give a fuck. Insurance is for liability purposes and doesn’t matter for tax deductions.
You’re making this way more complicated than it needs to be. He is not a c corp with a fleet of vehicles. He just needs to keep his mileage log handy. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 4:53 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt The insurance company cares if it's a business vehicle in accident, not the IRS. Uber drivers have problems with this stuff all the time. You need a policy rider for a business vehicle.
Hes talking about having a vehicle owned by the business that is 100% only used for personal use after year 2. There is no business mileage to log. A PC is a separate entity and taxpayer from the shareholder.
If hes just hoping not to get caught that's his choice but what hes talking about isn't technically compliant. You cant just say that a fully functional car is "useless" to gift it to a family member of the shareholder of the entity that owns it. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:06 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes The car would still be under my name. The insurance is under my name. All of that is legit even if the business buys the car as long as it is purportedly for business use over 50%.
|
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:25 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt So the PC is going to buy the car with its money, since the business has to be the buyer to get a deduction on its corporate return, but you will take title to the car personally? Not sure if that works but if your accountant says so go for it.
Does your PC even have enough net income to use this whole deduction in 1 year, after you pay yourself? I dont think you can carry it forward. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:39 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes My PC gets a check for ~$200K at the end of the year for my bonus after all my retirement is taken out. I can lend my PC $60K in the meantime as long as everything is zeroed out at the end of the year.
You definitely can take title to the car personally. Our tax department gave a CLE to all partners encouraging everyone to form PC's.
Note you can also deduct 100% of out of pocket medical costs if you have a c-corp and one employee - for that employee and his or her family. So my corp pays for all of my and my wifes out of pocket medical, dental and vision. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:57 PM Author: big kitty cat "then it is fully depreciated and useless"
*wink, wink* |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 4:16 PM Author: Stimulating kitty I meant I’d deduct the lease starting the next tax year. Just keep the suv and deduct 90% of the mileage for client meetings to Compton.
You make a lot of income, it won’t be an issue. Keep your mileage log in excel.

|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:07 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes explain why a mileage log is important for buying an SUV versus driving my leased car now? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36017329) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 5:34 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space It's important for both to know what % of use is personal vs. pleasure.
You can use an iphone app these days. https://triplogmileage.com/ios-mileage-tracking-app.html
Or just use a percentage of total miles like a normal person. |

Date: May 9th, 2018 6:47 PM Author: Stimulating kitty No difference btwn the cars; just maintain good records so in case there is an audit, you’re not logging 3 years worth of data or whatever at once. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36017948) |

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:25 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space Fucking Christ you are retarded. Of course you can continue to lease a business car and buy an SUV in the same year you dumb fuck. The problem is you can only deduct the percentage that the car is used for business. But if you want to lease a 911 for Monday Wednesday and Friday and drive a Cayenne Tuesday and Thursday, and if you don't use either of the cars for personal shit, you can take 100% of the deductions.

Date: May 9th, 2018 2:27 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt I think he meant that taking deductions for 2 cars is an obvious audit risk for a business that clearly doesn't need 2 cars (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36015989) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:32 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space You are putting words in his mouth. The rule doesn't depend on how many cars you have, it depends on what percentage of use is for business. He didn't mention the word "audit."

|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:38 PM Author: Sable People Who Are Hurt "Realistically for a law business" sounded like a practical concern. In any event there are specific IRS rules on both what % of usage must be business use (50% minimum) and how long that use must last, so he should talk to an accountant to not fuck it up.

|
Date: May 9th, 2018 2:56 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes that's correct. my law business is visiting clients and driving with papers in my car. I do not want to pretend to justify my corporation which is a sole professional corporation with one employee needing two business vehicles at the same time. I intend on deducting any car I claim as a business vehicle 90% with 10% personal. Do not want to do with with two cars at once. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3972564&forum_id=2#36016194) |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:02 PM Author: blue cerebral son of senegal space You don't have to "need" two business cars. You just have to use them for business and not lie about how much you use them for personal stuff. You could have 5 business cars if they are used more than 50% for business. I have relatives who have 3 business cars and who have been audited with no issues. Again,the issue is whether you accurately capture the percentage of use of THAT SPECIFIC CAR that is for business.
You need to get an accountant if you are going to be this retarded about taxes. |
|
Date: May 9th, 2018 3:04 PM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes dude, I understand how it works. But the reality is that I have a law business and that I am trying to minimize audit risk - which you already run by listing your car as a 90% business expense.
Nobody accurately captures the percentage used for business - at least not lawyers. They inflate as much as they think they can get away with. |

The funny thing is the second you go to any dealer and say you’re looking for a 6000 suv for business, basically every midsize suv and up qualifies. The bmw dealer told us that basically the manufacturers design them to make the over just over 6000 lbs loaded. |

|
Date: May 10th, 2018 1:35 AM Author: Mustard Useless Brakes Let's say my law corporation makes $500k this year. I buy a $100k SUV and am able to depreciate 100% of the cost because of rule 179 and bonus depreciation for big trucks.
So effectively I deduct $100k from the $500k my corporation makes. The remaining $400k is paid to me as salary (ignoring all other deductible business expenses). I have an effective 40-45% tax rate on my income. So I pay income taxes on $400k at that rate. Assuming 40% I pay 160k in taxes and keep $240k.
If I just bought the car myself, I would pay taxes on all $500k income (since no business deductions in this example). So I pay 200k in taxes (higher actually since the marginal rate is highest at the top) and have $300k left. I then buy the $100k car and have $200k left, which costs me $40k more than if I bought it through my company in the first example. |
