Summary
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Listed property like vehicles and computers requires strict, contemporaneous written records to substantiate business use. - To claim accelerated depreciation (MACRS, Section 179), business use must exceed 50% in the year the asset is placed in service. - If business use is 50% or less, you are restricted to the slower straight-line method under the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS). - Depreciation recapture is required if business use drops to 50% or less in a subsequent year, treating the excess depreciation taken as ordinary income. - Annual depreciation on passenger automobiles is capped by the luxury auto limits under IRC §280F, regardless of the vehicle's cost or business-use percentage.
