Question on Write Offs

Dec 29, 2017 0 Replies

My husband and I have a partnership ( Form 1065) for tax purposes.



We are thinking of buying a "used" car for the business. Not a brand new car. It will be a "pre owned sedan" type car.


Questions



*************
  1. To be able to

--write off the depreciation,



--get Sec 179, etc. do we need to buy the car in the business name? (most important question)


  1. Can we get Sec 179 deduction on this even though it is a "used" vehicle?


  1. Under Sec 179 can I write off the entire cost of the vehicle in the first year? Are there any limitations? Any limitations in dollar amount?
