Limits exist on MACRS deductions for automobiles and other listed property that are used for both personal and business purposes. If the listed property is predominantly used for business, the taxpayer can use the MACRS tables to recover the cost. In cases where the property is not predominantly used for business, the cost is recovered using the straight$-$line method.
