Bonus vehicle depreciation and section 179

BIGPETE
Level 3

if my client uses their new $90,000 2022 Denali for over 50% business use in 2021 what is the most section 179 depreciation they can take in the first year? they bought the car on 11/14/21.

they think they can write off the entire car in 2021 and yes I did file an extension for them.

If you use §179, I think that 179 is limited to $25,000 x business %.

But if you use Bonus, then you can use the full amount, reduced by multiplying by the business %.

Warn your client that if business percentage drops to 50% or less, there will be "recapture" of depreciation in that year.
