Car Expenses

if you use a vehicle on the job for half the year and buy a new vehicle for work midway through the year, assuming both used over 50% for business...can you use standard mileage on the first vehicle (assuming actual expenses haven't been taken in the past) and use actual expenses on the new second vehicle (i.e. section 179 depreciation on the business portion)


is the election for mileage vs actual based on a vehicle by vehicle decision?
