You can contact Support but it would be easier and more efficient if you posted your question on this board.

If you post your question here, it will also be helpful to know:

  • The exact make, model and year of the vehicle,
  • The GVWR of the vehicle (usually found on the inside doorframe of the driver's seat when the door is open).
  • If the business is a Schedule C, or if it is something else (S-corporation, Partnership, etc.).
  • If the business would still be profitable after taking the full the Section 179 deduction.
  • The percentage of business use of the vehicle.
  • If/why you really WANT to take the full cost in the first year, rather than spreading it out.
  • Why you are considering Section 179, rather than Bonus depreciation.
