Why is Sec 179 allowed with no business income?

[IRonMaN · Accepted solution]

W-2 income?

Paul, if you have more info (like there ISN'T any W-2 income) keep it in this thread instead of starting a new one.
And if you gave Jeff the NO vote for just asking, that really isn't fair now is it ?

There is a week before the madness ends, patience is running short, so can I just say that some people here are starting to piss me off?  I won't say it if I'm not allowed :open_mouth:

I'm not allowed to say it...or I would have.  I tried to *imply* it tho, did it work ?

[IRonMaN]

Kinda.

I'll try to do better at expressing myself better going forward /S

I'm showing extreme restraint this year.  I haven't called anybody stupid yet.  The temptation has been there a few times ------------- actually quite a few times, but I behaved myself.  Is Intuit giving out gold stars for good behavior again this year?

§ 179 CAN be used against W-2 income....so why/who thought giving Jeff a "no" vote was appropriate ?????
