Can I use a Section 179 Deduction as a military member that uses the over 6,000lbs+ vehicle more than 50% for work?

Tommy Ray Holly here,
Does my state of California or Los Angeles give a 179 deduction as a military member that uses the over 6,000lbs vehicle more than 50% travelling for work?

You receive a W-2 from the military.

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.
