Yes, you will be able to place your vehicle use for business in 2017. There are couple of steps that you will need to do before taking the section 179 deduction for your vehicle, if you have not created your self-employed business in TurboTax already. Then, you will need to add your vehicle as an asset. TurboTax will ask you questions about your vehicle when you are going through the interview page questions.
