Deductions & credits
When you enter the vehicle in the Business Vehicle Expense section, continue through the interview until you reach the Standard Mileage Deduction Screen, click the radio button the says “Yes, I’d like to see if my actual expenses give me a bigger deduction.”
(Since you already entered the vehicle, you can get to this screen by clicking edit next to the vehicle.)
Continue through the interview, and if you’re eligible, a screen will ask “How much do you want to deduct for the business use of this vehicle?”
Near the center of this screen is where you would enter the Section 179 Deduction.
Enter the amount you wish to claim.
Continue and select the method you wish to use.
If you choose “Actual” you cannot switch back to the Standard rate in the future for that vehicle.
