Keep acquisition cost, placed-in-service date, business and personal use, mileage, improvements, repairs, rental income, fees, and disposition records, then let a qualified tax professional determine treatment. Use the same sequence each time so that two people working from the same facts can understand how the result was reached. Book depreciation, tax depreciation, repairs, improvements, and mixed use can be treated differently. Use the current manufacturer instructions and obtain qualified legal, tax, insurance, or mechanical advice when the decision could affect safety, coverage, a contract, or a material amount of money.
