Business & farm

Printer and old machine if on a lease, you are deducting the lease payments as expenses.

Look at 2017 and see if you were able to:
1) take all the depreciation allowed --If so, no 179 carry-forward
2)  Passive losses--if you have a loss on 2017 that was used then you have no passive loss carryover.
3) same as #2
4) did you sell any business assets?
5) rare to have money you can't lose in a small business.  If bank gives you a loan, then will take other assets including personal assets until loan is paid.
