I will read it. Can you let me know either way....

It is asking if it qualifies for the Special Depreciation Allowance ("Bonus Depreciation").

In most cases if it is allowing you that option, the answer is "yes", but not every case.

Ya gonna believe the people on the phone or someone like Bill who knows what he's talking about?

Did you actually get the make, model, GVW, etc for the car and look up the rules for autos?

The more I know the more I don’t know.
