You are missing the whole thing.
You are not just writing off the payment.
payment
insurance
maintenance
anything and everything you do with the vehicle.
the other benefit is when you take on financing you are depreciating the vehicle yearly for 5 years than it will turn into capitol gain.
the trac never goes on your credit file personal or business but does report to your Dunn
so
$1150 payment
$2531 gas
$200 tires
$150 maintenance guestimated
$4031 monthly written off
$48372 yearly
$241860 over 5 years
So which do you think is better now.
and this is all tried and true.

Finance a truck and at the end of the agreement you own it. TRAC lease at the end of the term, if done correctly, you can (1) walk away, (2) renew and continue to lease (usually at a lower rate) or (3) purchase the vehicle at fair market value. Any lease that is $1 at the end for a buyout is not in the eyes of the IRS a lease, it is a purchase agreement.
Yes, for a lease the amount is fully deductible, simple to track. Financing requires depreciating the purchase price annually, and also you deduct the interest paid. So in the end as far as "write-offs" are concerned, the total amount you pay either way is deductible. -
