I am not a tax CPA/attorney - but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.
Buy a vehicle, stick a dealer plate on it, write it down monthly for depreciation, whatever the depreciation charge in/out yourself against your W2 income you pay yourself from the business <<< best way I have seen it done, and have done it myself - valid in almost any state (including CA)
Side note -- get a good tax CPA person.
Side note #2 -- I am actually a Hilton guy.
