Level 15

No one "deducts" the purchase of a car. They invested the funds into an Asset. They didn't Spend anything. The car is still right there. There are regulations for how it gets treated for tax filing purposes.

Are you familiar with the tax rules related to this person's business activities and the use of a personal vehicle with mixed personal and business trips?

The IRS has lots of resources:
