The application has three section 179 expense features.

• Entering section 179 expense by pressing F11 in the Asset Detail dialog. When you press F11 in the Asset Detail dialog for a current-year asset, the application automatically enters the section 179 expense from that asset's Sec 179 expensed field up to either the remainder allowed for the current year or the cost of the asset, whichever is less.
• Section 179 Summary dialog. This dialog allows you to view an on-screen explanation of how the application calculated the maximum 179 expense for an asset or an asset's maximum section 179 expense. To open this dialog, while in the Asset Detail dialog, choose Tasks > Display Section 179 Summary. For more information on this feature, see Understanding the Section 179 Summary dialog.
• Elect Section 179 dialog. This dialog allows you to enter section 179 expense for eligible assets. To open this dialog, choose Tasks > Elect Section 179 or click the Elect Section 179 Amounts button while in the Asset List window. For more information on this feature, see Elect Section 179 dialog.
