Total has positive and neg numbers.

I guess under the WHERE statement I should say equip1.total <1 'equip1.total*-1'


is that correct or how close am i.

We need more data to answer your question about whether you should only sum all values as positive, but to make all the values positive use
sum(abs(total))

that worked to sum the income but now the income also has negs (trying to sum the income as well. here is the code I used but its not adding summing the negs its actually adding them to the total.

This code works I just need it to take the negs out and so I can sum it. if that makes any sence.
=sum(abs(Fields!Total.Value))-IIF(Fields!eqprecdt.Value< #6/1/2007#,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07 * -1 * datediff("d",#5/31/2008#,Fields!eqprecdt.Value)/365)

Are you trying to create formula in SSRS? Then you should post this in Reporting Services forum

Which is field that designates the income? or is it that the expression you posted calculates income? If thats the case i cant see where you're summing it??
