2010 Vehicle Depreciation Limits
CCH has calculated the inflation adjustments for the depreciation limits on business vehicles first placed into service in 2010. Based on past experience, they expect IRS to release their official version of the calculation in April 2010.
Ever since the ridiculously low luxury car limits on depreciation were initiated in 1984, we have had to break the news to clients that they were driving luxury cars in the eyes of the IRS, even though that wasn’t reflected in reality.
The new limits per CCH:
Passenger Vehicles:
Year 1 $3,060
Year 2 4,900
Year 3 2,950
Year 4 1,775
Year 5 1,775
Five Year Total $14,460
Trucks & Vans:
Year 1 $3,160
Year 2 5,100
Year 3 3,050
Year 4 1,875
Year 5 1,875
Five Year Total $15,060
