Hello All!
- Client has an S corp (100% shareholder) and purchases a truck in 2022 under his personal name due to better financing
- Client purchased truck in 2022 and plans to use it about 75% for business in his construction work
- He completes the proper reimbursement form under an existing and implemented accountable plan for his S corp and wants to take advantage of Bonus Depreciation in 2022
- Lets assume that the reimbursable amount under bonus depreciation is about $50,000 (75% of the purchase cost)
- However, his S corp does not have the full $50,000 available to pay the reimbursement.

"Client purchased truck in 2022 and plans to use it about 75% for business in his construction work"
Which is why it should not be a corporate vehicle. The nonbusiness use is taxable to the employees through payroll, and that's a pretty significant amount of nonbusiness use.
"He completes the proper reimbursement form under an existing and implemented accountable plan for his S corp and wants to take advantage of Bonus Depreciation in 2022"
He would turn in for Mileage, and the rate includes a component for gas, oil, maintenance, insurance (general operations) and wear-and-tear (depreciation).
"Lets assume that the reimbursable amount under bonus depreciation is about $50,000 (75% of the purchase cost)"
Are you trying to pass as expense his actual costs under an accountable plan, then?
Are you trying to sell that vehicle to the S Corp under an installment plan?
Are they wanting to lease the vehicle to the business? Because that is a circular reference and creates taxable income (and insurance risk) for that owner, as this no longer is a personal vehicle.
Some people try too hard to get too tricky, and totally overlook some great provisions that already exist.
Don't yell at us; we're volunteers
