Special limitations apply to the amount of depreciation that can be claimed for passenger vehicles. What is the maximum amount of depreciation for a vehicle placed in service in 2023, with no bonus depreciation claimed?

1 answer

For the tax year 2023, the maximum allowable depreciation deduction for passenger vehicles that are used for business purposes, without claiming any bonus depreciation, is subject to specific limits set by the IRS. For standard passenger vehicles, the limits are:

  • Year 1: $12,200
  • Year 2: $19,500
  • Year 3: $11,700
  • Each succeeding year: $6,460

The limits could vary depending on the vehicle's weight and whether it qualifies as a luxury vehicle, but for the standard passenger vehicle category, these are the maximum amounts you can claim for depreciation in the first few years. Always consult a tax professional or the IRS guidelines for the most accurate and applicable information.
