If you drive high miles, the mileage write off method really helps. I have a 2014 Mazda 3 with 367k miles on it, paid off. I haven't done any work to the engine, nothing is leaking, it's running solid. Still has the original clutch (it's a manual). The last few years, my 40 to 50k mile a year write off has been huge for me, only having a few hundred a year in maintenance, which I do myself (brakes, oil spark plugs, trans fluid, tires). Also, I started a solo 401k three years ago and max it out and have the business pay as much toward it as I can. These really help me keep my taxes to a minimum (although, it still feels like I pay a heck of a lot).

[@cathyspiegel6765]

I’m glad I pulled through, despite the crises. I am retiring next yr at 55 with 3 houses paid off worth 4.5 million. One is my place of residence the other 2 properties will give me $80,000per/yr rent . I will have an income stream of $20,000 per mnth through my super which gives me total $240,000 a yr to live comfortably. I have no debts ... Stay Motivated!!

I plan on buying a Tesla later this year. I have a day job, and my plan to comply with the 50% rule is to drive on the weekends for Uber at least to the extent that that use is more than commuting to the day job and personal use. My only question is what you said about putting it into a business name to optimize tax write offs on the vehicle purchase. Are you saying I get more write off by putting the vehicle in the name of an LLC I control? Or did I misunderstand and it doesn't matter if the vehicle is in my personal name or business name?

My Dad told me to be an accountant years back, he taught me accounting on his desk, but as a rebelious son did not pay attention to his advice then, now I regret I didn't, I read IRS stuff and keep abreast of all tax things which have been very useful thought the years, I even helped prepared taxes to some clients periodically, but with my other occupations I lost interest on making money that way. I might go back to school but I am also interested in law, will see, I might hire your services or you hire me, lol. Thank you for your great programs, clarify many things, many details at times.

Ownership doesn’t matter? Are you saying that an owner of an LLC taxed as an S-corp can “contribute” a vehicle that is titled in the owner’s name to the S-Corp and then the S-Corp can deduct the same expenses (mileage or actual (including depreciation)) as it could if the vehicle was titled in the S-Corp’s name?

[@christophermichael3674]

Mark, could you do a video or a piece of a video, about creative things to do as a dog trainer? Like write-offs etc? I drive a ton, so I understand the mileage, just thought it would be cool if maybe there were some creative things you could discuss in this dog training context.

Phenomenal information, which is very difficult to find. I have 3 vehicles. All 3 are on Turo. One is leased, and the other two have liens, which one of those is electric. I use whatever one is not rented out to help deliver the others to clients, plus for my personal use.

[@nicholash8021]

There is a big difference between a tax write off and a business expense. I want to know how to expense my vehicle, not get a tax deduction for miles driven because I don't want to use my personal income to purchase the car and then apply a small portion of it my business. I want my business to purchase the car.

Can I write off if my business is not making money?

[@BRAAAPOLOGY]

I didn’t watch the video but people buy cars and other assets all the time to start a business and maybe won’t profit until about years 3-5. If you’re not making money it’s ok you just have to demonstrate you are actually running a business and expectations are to be profitable within that time frame. There are also loss limitations etc to prevent people from writing down an attempted business to offset different income items.

Hey Mark I have a s corp can I buy suv on my business. For text deduction in 2023

[@korygrandy6133]

Question for Mark, I have 2 S corps cash accounting method. I have 2 vehicles that I use for both businesses. My truck I use for my home services business, its been paid off for quite a time, but I use the mileage method and don't drive much, maybe less than 10k a year, and I use it more than 50% for business. I also have a car I purchased in 2022 and claimed the special depreciation $19,200 on, but put on like 25,000 miles for my other s-corp consulting business a year and wrote off my vehicle expenses like gas, oil changes and car washes. My question is, can I switch my second consulting business vehicle(asset) to the mileage method in 2023, after claiming the bonus depreciation in 2022, or would I be better served keeping it as bonus depreciation. Let me add a caveat that I am anticipating purchasing a THIRD vehicle, which would be used for my business services s-corp, would have low miles used more than 50% for business and would be a high cost vehicle. Should I take the bonus depreciation at 80% in 2023 for my consulting business, AND can I take the 80% bonus depreciation for the NEW home services vehicle I plan to purchase? Really two questions I would love some guidance on.

I'm actually planning on buying the car at the end of the lease. (I like Toyota hybrids and they hold their value really well.) Can I use the bonus with the mileage? You said mileage for hybrid's. The hybrid tax credit is only for brand new cars, right? When car shopping, I generally prefer to get a 2 year old pre-owned car.

[@nunyabidness3075]

None of these deductions are really worth it if you are not the type of person who likes dealing with all the BS. You are better off foregoing the deductions, concentrate on keeping costs down, and spend your time improving yourself and your business until you have built up your income to the point you have employees and professional services who will do all this for you. There are actually people, like the host, who enjoy this stuff like a hobby. We’d all be better off we can get the government to simplify the code, and get everyone working on doing better business instead of avoiding taxes.
