My wife has a small home business and has about $1000 in purchases that we would like to take a section 179 deduction on. We have no other property to list. How to we fill out the form 4562? Just part I and Part IV, the summary?

We're deducting mileage on schedule C, do we have to put the vehicle info in form 4562 as well?

Thanks.
