Acura RDX Tax Write Off

In order to write off a Vehicle on your tax return, it need to meet many requirements. These requirements include but are not limited to

Business Percent Use

IRS requires you to keep track of your miles so you can determine if you are using your business vehicle 70% for business or 90% for your business.

You are only allowed to write off the amount that is used for business and not for personal.

Ordinary and Necessary

In order for the Acura RDX Tax deduction to be allowed, it need to be ordinary and necessary in the field of work you are in.

For example in construction, you will need pickup to haul materials. That will be considered Ordinary and Necessary.

Furthermore, If you are a Luxury Home Realtor, then a Luxury SUV may be a tax write off as your Customers Expect you to take them out in a luxury vehicle showing them $5 or $10 million dollar properties.

Gross Vehicle Weight

If the Vehicle is 6000 pounds or more, then you are allowed to write off full value of the vehicle as long as its 100% business use and placed in the service in the year you are doing the tax write off for.

If any vehicle is less than 6,000 pounds max you can do in 2022, is $18,200 first year and remaining over 5 year period.

Acura RDX Lease Vs Purchase

Lease Example & Calculation

If you lease a business vehicle, you get to write off the actual amounts you paid for example if you lease Acura RDX( 36 Month Lease) and Put $9,000 Down Payment(Lease Buy Down) and $500 Per month for the entire year.

Then you write off the lease as following:

Lease Deposit $9000 Divided by Lease Term 36 Months So you will get $3,000 Per year

Yearly Lease Payment: $500 Times 12 Months is $6,000

Total Tax Write off $3,000 Plus $6,000= $9,000 for the year.

Purchase Example & Calculations:

If you purchase the Vehicle for $50,000 and put down $10,000 and finance the remaining over 60 months the calculations will work the following way assuming 100% business use:

Since this purchase doesn’t qualify for vehicle equal or more than 6000 pounds, maximum 1st year deduction using bonus depreciation and section 179 is $18,200. Remaining $31,800 needs to be spread over 5 years.

You can take Standard mileage deduction of 58.5 cents( in 2022) a mile but it is beneficial if your vehicle purchase price is very low for example $5,000.

We do not recommend taking standard mileage deduction as the actual deduction will be much higher when the purchase price of the vehicle is higher.

Acura RDX Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR)

2022 Acura RDX Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) is 4299 lbs. to 4475 lbs.

Hence, Acura RDX doesn’t Qualifies for the 6000 Pound or more requirement (Per IRS) and using a combination of Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation you can get $18,200 Deduction on a Vehicle purchase price including Fees and Sales Taxes.

Acura RDX Tax Write off California

California has very specific rules pertaining to depreciation and limits any Section 179 to $25,000 Maximum per year.

But for vehicles that are less than 6,000 Pounds, you can only write off maximum $10,200 Section 179.

So for example, if you purchase a vehicle for $50,000, you can write off $10, 200 as Section 179 in first year and remaining amount of $39,800 in this example has to be spread over 5 year period.

While IRS allows Bonus Depreciation, California doesn’t allow Bonus depreciation and the entire amount is added back to your State return where it is taxed.

(Please note that you can get another $8000 in bonus depreciation on top of section 179 deduction to get maximum tax deduction of $18,200.
