SL and 179 on same vehicle?

Hello everyone, 

I'm reviewing a clients return from 2021 and realize that the former preparer split the total SE miles between two depreciation methods for the same vehicle. I've not seen this strategy before and wondered the perspective of the collective mind of the community. 

My apologies if this is common and my inexperience is showing. 😉 

Have a great night all, 

Dawn

Section 179 is an election for the year the property is placed in service. It is not a method.

The remaining cost after the 179 deduction may be depreciated using the SL method. In some cases, SL may be required.
