One year old S-corporation in technology consulting business.
H & W are equal shareholders.
Husband is the only employee.
Wanted to lease a car for the S-Corporation.
Leasing company refused to lease in the name of S-Corp.
Because, no tangible assets or acceptable credit history of the business.
They leased the car (Porsche ?) in their joint names.
For one year term at a cost of $35000.
Business usage 75%.
Paid charges from business account.
Did not report imputed value on W-2 for company vehicle.
Both H & W are technology consultants and together make affordable income.
Individually also they did not have long credit history.
Ended up with a very costly deal.
Other facts:
Gross cost of vehicle (89900)
Charge for vehicle's decline in value for the term..29300
Rent charge.. 2900
Total base payment .. 31200
Title, Regn., License & MV fee .. 1600
Sales tax .. 2200
Single payment paid .. 35000
1) Is the car considered as leased by the company ?
2) Could the S-Corp deduct leased car charge ?
3) If so, how much can they deduct for the year ?
4) Is there a way to deduct part of the leased expenses by S-Corp ?
Thank you and appreciate any response to the post.
