Dahle breaks down a commonly misunderstood tax strategy and explains why having your business lease or own your vehicle is often less advantageous than many professionals assume. He clarifies how vehicle deductions actually work, highlights common audit risks, and offers practical guidance for simplifying tax reporting while staying compliant. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/should-your-business-lease-a-car/ Quotes to ponder: "Any expense in your life that can be taken as a business expense should be taken as a business expense." "The most important thing for you to realize here is that ONLY business mileage is deductible. Personal miles are NOT deductible." "My general recommendation is to own the car personally and just take a business mileage deduction (or, for an S Corp, reimburse yourself) for those business miles so long as your insurance will cover that business use."
