Business & farm

if the business started in 2023 and you placed the asset(s) into service in 2023 then the 179 deduction, if elected, must be taken in 2023 though it will become a carryforward to use in 2024 since you have no 2023 net business income.  if you have no business net income. in 2024 the 179 will become a carryforward to 2025 and so on.  the deduction, if elected, goes on the form or return for the business.  If this is an S-corp there must be business income both at the S-corp level and personally.
