Finally a video that makes sense and goes through actual facts and rules. Loved it & Subbed.
Very clear and informative! Thank you
This was very informative and well done. Thank you!
Great content. I would love to give a tip. If you loosen your tie you can push the lapel mic down into the knot and hide it from hanging over the top. Look at the sports talk shows. They typically hide it In the tie.
Great topic! very informative.
This is very helpful. Thank you
Solid. Thank you.
Amazing video. Me and my wife have been leasing for 9 years but cars have gotten so expensive and interest rates that it doesn’t make sense to lease again. The same car we have now would be 18,000 more in just 3 years
We have an option to buy so we may buy the car and deduct the interests and gas etc on that vehicle until these companies get back down to earth with prices and leasing options
Excellent video. Thank you.
It depends on what you're wanting to do with the vehicle - are you buying in your own name then "renting" or leasing it to your biz? Is it purchased in the biz name? If you lease you can't use section 179 with accelerated depreciation as you don't own it (from my understanding). You have to buy it outright (cash or financing) to take advantage of that. People like to lease because they can afford a lot more car than they could if they financed it. You also know exactly how much it's going to cost you to own the vehicle. You can still pay off the lease at any time and sell it if you can benefit from a high value market (like we are experiencing now). You can also buy it at the end of the lease and keep it if you like it that much. So leasing is no different than a loan - you don't own a vehicle you have a loan on with a bank. The other nice thing about leasing is you don't pay all the sales tax and you don't pay it all up front. You only pay tax on each payment and you pay on the amount you are using. A lease also doesn't show up as a huge debt on your credit score - it just shows up as a payment. Leasing doesn't really make sense for an individual, but through a biz it can be very useful. If you want section 179 and bonus depreciation you need to buy (finance). If the vehicle is over 6,000 pounds you def want to buy.
Love this
Loved this
Thank you so much!
Buying both my vehicles to be able to run my business. Yes they will be used for some personal use but mainly to operate the biz. Thanks guys, best FREE info on RUclips.
do i havde to own the vehicle?
Love the channel
So much value in this video thank you so much I greatly appreciate it liked and subscribed!
If I had a rental or Fleet business definitely going the lease route. Saves you a ton of headaches.
Good info. Thank you.
You forgot to mention recapture if vehicle is disposed.
🤣🤣🤣 No one reports a vehicle sale.
Great video Sean. I'm eyeing the model S for my business car maybe in about 2 years.
Thanks! Do you have a car that you use for business now? But yeah I love that car
This was very informative. For me being a "Car Guy", I would purchase if the car was to be kept for my
personal Collection. If the car was just something I wanted to just drive to experience... I would lease.
As for the methods of depreciation, I prefer the Actual Expense method... #Hotep
Thanks for sharing, I love that perspective!
Great content topic! In my opinion, buying and leasing seems feasible depending on your circumstance and budget.
Exactly! Do you currently have a business vehicle? Curious what you do
Great job young man!
I am interested in getting a used truck under 6K lbs to use for both personal and business. What is the best bank loan for a new startup I should consider, my business has not launched yet, but this is my first step and I need this to move into my primary business entity land ownership for rental properties. I have a budget of $30K for the vehicle and will use the SBA for my Veteran Loans and grants. Thanks for any advice you can share.
Bro you look just like the guy who does the aggressive dance offs against the green screen " bust it out 🎵 bust it out 🎵",
Please do one about depreciation
Thanks for the tips! Question: I currently have a mobile business, own my vehicle (paid off), and use the standard mileage deduction. My CPA said once I chose this method I can't switch to expense method. I plan on getting another vehicle for 100% business. In the video you said if I lease, can I write off lease payments as well as the standard mileage. Can I write off the insurance payments as well? Thanks
Always great video,The next video how to buy a car under llc
Great suggestion! I’ll add that to my ideas list
He forgot to mention the advanced subject, Lease Inclusion Amount. You need to reduce the lease deduction if the car value is up to certain annual limit. This prevents business owners from deducting a Ferrari lease.
I would definitely buy.
So you can use the actual expense method and use the depreciation bonus in one tax year?
What if I buy a vehicle before I started my business but I’ll write it off text time business, mileage, and least an insurance
Do a video on depreciation
Does putting your logo on your business vehicle while driving considered as advertising thus tax credit for advertising and miles driven? Would I have yo have that auto in a video if I created content?
If you end up depreciating the car and then sell it at a later time are you required to pay gains tax (if you make profit) and pay back depreciation for that vehicle?
I am a 1099 worker for Uber, Lyft and hutch. I just l financed/ leased a 2023 Nissan pathfinder could I apply these same methods?
When you buy the business vehicle, does it have to be bought with business revenue? Or can I personally get a loan
If I lease my business vehicle and it's over 6000 lbs and I still use the tax bonus tax deduction?
Great information video, I am a property manager and I am hired by property ownership could this be considered as a business?
At least an eBay that I use for my business and I'm planning on buying a hybrid to for my wife That is solar powered the new Hyundai . The cost Of the least payment and fuel costs and insurance is still less than the gas payment that I was paying per month on My old many man by $200 by $200
I'm a sole proprietor. I'm trying to decide if I should go LLC and put a car in my business name or should I just stay sole proprietor and if so can I put the car in the name of the business if I'm a sole proprietor because I always thought being a sole proprietor was just like being a person not necessarily a business. I have no idea what to do as I'm just beginning on this journey
I bought my vehicles. I lease one of them to my business for business purposes.
If I buy a property, and I put it under LLc , do I have to do the same if I buy a car ? 2 different LLC? Or the car can be under personal name ?😊
Is this for Canadian tax system?
Lease always make more sense for me.
Wait so you can lease a new car every year helping with the high beneficial tax cut right?
Question: can you deduct capital cost reductions on leases?
Buy
I’m new here and I’m really enjoying your channel. Man I wish I knew you personally lol
Haha where do you live?
@@LYFEAccounting I live in Arkansas
Arizona, here.
Great video as always! I do have a question... If you use the bonus depreciation in the first year and write off the entire purchase price of the vehicle, do or can you still use standard mileage deduction?
If you take bonus depreciation then you cannot take the standard mileage deduction
@@LYFEAccounting Thanks for the reply. last question. Can I still get reimbursed for my business miles from my LLC to myself personally even though there won’t be any other deductions taken by my LLC because 100% bonus was taken? I’m currently electing S-Corp and have a monthly expense report.
What if I'm a landlord and I advertise on my vehicle about my rentals, how would my vehicle be looked at as a expense. Thanks
Can’t you buy a car at the end of the lease?
I prefer cash flow. :D
If I leased a vehicle and used the Actual Expenses method and later do a lease buy out at the end of the lease term, can I then switch to the Standard Mileage method and take depreciation?
Thank you, this was a very educational video!
Of course. Once you switch to financing you then own it. You can use depreciation
More on depreciation, please
Noted, thanks for sharing! Do you have a business vehicle?
Wow your content is amazing, exactly what I needed. I own a vacation rental company ( Airbnb). I focus manly in luxury real estate space with 5 homes with 2hours of my home. I want to lease a corvette next year to use 50% of the time for business.
I’ll earn 500k on revenue this year and hopefully a million next year. Is it necessary enough for someone like me to lease a 80k corvette and not get in trouble with the IRS??
Man great questions! I’m going to be honest, (not trying to sell), but for me to answer this I need more information on your business and personal finances. Would you consider booking a 1-on1 consultation?
@@LYFEAccounting because I don’t have too many questions I think that a 30 minute session might work
Looking at having my son lease
Why don’t we want a huge deduction if we have very little profit or taxable business income?
buy
I thought you couldn’t depreciate a leased vehicle?
Don't leases require you to put some money down?
Great video. Quick question, if you’re employed (w2) and self employed- real estate agent / landlord (1099) can the vehicle deduction off set my W2 income ?
Well, kinda. It may be more appropriate to state that active business losses can offset W2 income. You just gave me an idea for a video, thanks for the comment!
@@LYFEAccounting I modified my question so it reads more appropriate - guess I got to excited after watching your video lol. Well, I hope you make the video in the near future - I’ll be sure to watch it, as I’m subscribed to the channel. You’re making a real difference for people - thank you.
Lease
What leasing company do you recommend?
Did you know most car dealerships have financing and leasing options?
@@LYFEAccounting going to the dealership doesn’t seem like a good idea. They’re known to run your credit several times and I don’t want that. I was hoping for a more direct answer.
Purchase a car
This was the best information that I have EVER come across. As a Financial Advisor I am always looking for people to support clients that have these issues and can explain what is going on without them "wasting" money with no results. I will definitely support this recommendation CREDITROYALE NET to all of my clients when I see they have a credit issue. I have been hood winked by so many companies and people in this line of business and I am excited that theyre a team of integrity to actually help people
As a Realtor in the area, I have had to refer some of my clients to credible companies that specialize in credit repair. CreditRoyale is one of the best out there
