Van

[robert13meyer]

I purchased a van this year for 27,000. I have a small business. Can I write off the total cost the 1st year?

You may be able to to do so, but it will depend on several factors: 

If it's directly related to the work you do, you can deduct it as an expense.

Work-related expenses reduce your taxes by lowering the amount of self-employment income you get taxed on. For example, if you made $50,000 in self-employment income and had $5,000 out-of-pocket expenses, you'd only get taxed on $45,000.
