I have seen some old threads about the X being 50% deductible - but with the new tax law changes I wanted folks to know that, under the right circumstances (consult with your CPA/Tax Advisor - I am NOT saying this is right for you) the MX total cost may be 100% tax deductible in year 1. In the new law the X qualifies for a 100% deduction - not under section 179 but under the Bonus Depreciation which is now 100% under section 168(k). IRS won't issue new guidelines until March at earliest - but it is already in effect.
Here is a great article from Forbes about the changes in the law with specific mentions about deductibility for SUV's over 6,000 lbs GVW (remember this its GVW and NOT Curb Weight). I work in the government space on behalf of several tax interested parties so I knew this was coming when I ordered my X for December delivery (it is in fact retroactive to September 2017).
For those of you who may be in the right situation (taking delivery late last year and even this year) or thinking about purchasing a new one - I hope you can take advantage of this!
Best.
