I'd say if he's an employee - non compensated expenses ARE deductible - but to be safe, he'd have to log the time he uses the atv on the job.
The only part that would be deductible is the part he uses on the job. Call it a 5 year depreciation and figure out what each day of use costs.
Similar to nonreimbursed car expenses. The IRS allows $.xx per mile driven - NOT the cost of the car.
I think the government's going to raise an eyebrow if he tries to say the atv is 100% for work only. Corporations typically don't have their employees buy expensive assets FOR them. That might even raise some IRS eyebrows against his employer.
Something tells me said ATV is probably not stored permanently onsite at the job location either.

So I say just deduct the work related part. I think that would slide under the IRS radar with no problem, and it would be the honest thing to do.
