Default Need 179 Deduction Tax Help for 3500. Any Experts?

I was planning on deducting the entire cost of my dually as a 179 but my accountant says the limit is 25k. I interpret that the 25k only applies to SUV's and not trucks that are over 6000 lbs and have a bed over 6 ft. Is it time for a new accountant?

You are correct. The only other issue is you can not take section 179 to put your business in a loss. Sounds like you are not using a CPA

Thanks. Unfortunately he is a CPA. I'd like to find a new one in NJ if you have any recommendations.

Have you thoroughly explained to him the weights, etc...??

He might just be a nerdy CPA who doesn't understand trucks, etc....
