Re: Tax Deduction For Hummer?
Robert's correct. This falls under the same form 179 accelerated
depreciation rules as business PCs, printers, etc. A guy won a suit against
the IRS a few years ago, arguing the old 5 yr depreciation schedule was
obsolete, since PCs and peripherals are valueless after a year or so.
Frankly, the Democrats are just making this a political issue to troll for
the Green vote. For every Hummer depreciated there are thousands of work
trucks being purchased due to the new rules. Same old liars...

Re: Tax Deduction For Hummer?
It applies to ALL vehicles!
If you use the vehicle for business purposes the cost of operation, etc.
is deductible either by direct cost OR by a flat rate of ~ $.33/mi.,
whichever is greater.
The pain in the *** if you also use it for personal use is that you
must keep a 'contemporaneous log' of personal vs. business usage ...
keeping accurate records to keep the two 'accounts' separate.

Yes and no. While it is true that any vehicle used for business qualifies for
a tax deduction, there are special rules, and a greater depreciation deduction,
for business vehicles weighing more than 6,000 lbs.
