I am an independent contractor. I would like to purchase a 6,000+ lb. vehicle and use the section 179 deduction in 2018. Can the vehicle be in my name personally?

If you operate your business as a sole proprietorship or as a single-member LLC, you can buy the vehicle in your personal name and benefit form the section 179 deduction.
