My husband is self employed and started his own business two years ago. He had quite a bit of Sec. 179 expense deduction when starting his own business. So, the lender is looking at our combined AGI for the past two years (I have a w2 job). Would we be able to add back the depreciation & Sec. 179 deduction taken on his schedule C to decrease the debt to income ratio?
