I have a client who is a 1099'd truck driver and he leases a trailer for his cattle hauling business. How do I write off the lease payments?

    What kind of lease?   Do they own the trailer at the end of the lease or have an option to purchase at a reduced price?

    It's a private lease from his parents. This was 2 years ago, so he is not going to own or didn't buy it from them.

    But that didn't answer the flower lady's question.

    Specifically, if he hadn't already done so, he is late issuing a 1099-Misc with box 1 rent. He's in the "up to 30 days late" penalty range right now.
