The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) increased depreciation limits for passenger vehicles (not SUVs). If the taxpayer doesn’t claim bonus depreciation, the greatest allowable depreciation deduction is:

  • $10,000 for the first year,
  • $16,000 for the second year,
  • $9,600 for the third year, and
  • $5,760 for each later taxable year in the recovery period.

If a taxpayer claims 100% bonus depreciation, the greatest allowable depreciation deduction is $18,000 for the first year and the same as above for later years.
