2013 Luxury Auto Depreciation Limits, Tables and Explanations

The tax law limits the amount you can deduct for depreciation of your car, truck or van. The section 179 deduction and special depreciation allowance are treated as depreciation for purposes of these limits. The maximum amount you can deduct each year depends on the year you place the car in service. The 2013 luxury vehicle tables appear below.1 The tables show

 

·

limitations on depreciation deductions for owners of passenger vehicles, trucks and vans first placed in service during calendar year 2013,

·

income inclusion amounts by lessees of passenger vehicles, trucks and vans, and

·

revised depreciation limitations and lessee inclusion amounts for passenger vehicles taking advantage of bonus depreciation under IRC Section 168(k).

 

To stay on top of these and future tax law changes, we suggest that you read the monthly articles published online at the Bradford Tax Institute. We provide cutting-edge tax information for the self-employed, the one owner business, and the husband and wife owned business.
