Maria would like to recover the cost of these business assets as soon as possible through Section 179 expensing.

Maria owns a 2017 Acura . She started to use the Acura for her business on January 1, 2020. She drove 2,050 business miles during 2020 (she has documentation to verify) . She drove the vehicle for a total of 10,000 miles during the year (7,950 personal miles). She also has access to another vehicle that she can use for personal purposes.

Maria started her bookkeeping service in 2017 and she uses the cash method of accounting. She is the only person performing services in the business. She did not make any payments that would have required her to file a Form 1099.

Maria's business is a specified service business for purposes of the Qualified Business Income Deduction.

I prepared Schedule C for Carlos and Maria , but I am not sure I did right or wrong.

how to calculate bonus depreciation, and section 179.

I find out Carlos total expense is $832915 (include depreciation $46000)

Maria total expense is $5374 ( include depreciation $3090 and Auto expense $1179)

Could you help me check Schedule C?

Thank you
