Used Vehicles Qualify For Sec. 179
Q:
Subject: Section 179 of the Internal Revenue CodeGood Afternoon,In regards to Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code. I have a small computer repair company I need to purchase a larger truck to visit clients and move equipment. I would prefer to purchase an SUV as that would be more practical than a Van . My question is does the auto need to be new or can it be used.Thank You
A:
It just has to be new to you; not brand new.
You can see the rules for Section 179, including the weights of SUVs, on my main website.
You really should be working directly with a tax pro who can help you tailor things to your unique circumstances.
Good luck.
