Now if you already need to purchase something, yeah go ahead and spend it this year to get the deduction.
that’s exactly what I said

if you are going to spend it anyway, find a way to expense the business for it. It is the only real way to reduce company taxable income

Not exactly what you said. And you’re responding to a guy who’s going to buy a new vehicle just to lower his tax liability so that’s not what he’s doing.

You tell him what you told him and they hear “go buy that vehicle”

Weagle, what about my situation? Is the best option to cover my wife's tax burden to contribute to an IRA to offset the tax?

I don’t know nearly enough about your situation to tell you what the best option is.

Just pay the tax bill and keep rolling?
This is always the wrong answer, get a decent CPA to give you some advice, and dont put the money in a Roth, as it wont help your tax situation this year.

Should I sell it and buy a vehicle for the “company” to offset taxes?
I would not hesitate, but again, it will impact your deductions next year.

Pro tip to any business owner: Stop buying non-revenue producing things for $70,000 just to save $8,000 in taxes.

You’re welcome.
