Auto Number

This field is used to identify listed property assets as automobiles. Enter a one or two digit number. When an entry is made in the Automobile Number field and/or an entry of "A" is made for the "Listed Property Code," the asset will be treated as an auto and the luxury automobile limitations will be applied to the asset based on the date placed in service. The auto number entered prints on Form 4562, Page 2.

An entry of "X" or "N" in the "Listed Property Code"field in conjunction with an entry in the Automobile Number field will not apply the luxury auto limitations but the mileage information will print on Form 4562, page 2.

An entry in the Automobile Number field without an entry in the "Listed Property Code"field will default to the application of the luxury auto limitations.
