"You can use both Section 179 and bonus depreciation in the same year. Yes, the year purchased
With 179, you can split the cost between years if you choose. Yes, if your vehicle had cost less than $18,000, you could split and put some of it sec 179 and some depreciation. In your case, your truck was over $18,000.
For example, you could deduct half of the cost upfront and spread the rest over the next five years." Yes, if you had purchased a $30,000 truck, you could have done a sec 179 for $15,000 and depreciated the rest over 5 years.
The year you purchased the truck, you could have both sec 179 and depreciation. Your sec 179 maxed out at $18,000. The IRS puts a cap on vehicles for the sec 179. After the first year, you depreciate for 5 years. Sec 179 is a one time event, in the year of purchase.
