You may benefit from filling an amended tax return
The IRS issued final regulations in June 2004 that retroactively increased the allowed depreciation on certain light weight trucks, including SUVs, and vans. Affected taxpayers must file amended tax returns by December 31, 2004 to take advantage of the increased deduction. Since 1986, the depreciation deduction available on vehicles that cost more than a statutory threshold, currently at $18,000, has been reduced under the so called "Luxury automobile" rules. In spite of the name, luxury automobiles included all vehicles but exempted certain heavy weight vehicles such as trucks, including SUVs, which have a gross vehicle rating in excess of 6,000 pounds.
