The form# is 4562 - Depreciation and Amortization the Section 179 option.

In 1999 you could write off up to $19,000 (cannot exceed business income)
INSTEAD of taking depreciation. You can even carry excess expenses over to
the next year, if they exceed your business income.

Forms and instructions and such:
