ISSUE/PROBLEM I AM HAVING:

2022 Schedule C, Part II, Line 9 is giving me a difficult time. I have all of the other expenses completed and correct, but I cannot move on without getting line 9. I did use Form 4562 and the vehicle was used 77.143% of the time, if that matters. I have tried putting in the vehicle expense that is in the picture but that is wrong, I have also tried halving 27,000, which is 13,500, and then multiplying it by .585 for the first half of the year and the other half of 13,500 by .625, then adding those two together and got 16,335. That was a wrong answer as well. I have also tried the 35,000 this way, which was wrong. I tried 0 and that was wrong, I have tried adding 16,335 and the vehicle expense together and that was wrong.

Line 9 of Schedule C and how to figure it out is all I need. Without using the same answers as below.

Answers I have used but are wrong: 16,335, 0, 20829, 20835, 15795, 21,175, 4500 and 20,829.
