I purchase a livestock trailer for use on our farm. How do I account for that expense and type of vehicle?

Depreciate as a trailer and not a vehicle if you attach the trailer to a truck/vehicle.

Under your Farm business add the livestock trailer in the Asset section and depreciate for the asset class of a trailer.

You will be given options to depreciate over its asset class life, 179 deduction, combo deduction and special depreciation allowance. See attachments.
