Used Vehicles Qualify For Sec. 179

Posted by taxguru on February 21, 2006

Q:

Subject: Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code
 
Good 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.
