What is Section 179?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code “allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year.” The intent of Section 179 is to provide tax relief to small businesses by purchasing equipment as investments toward future success. Instead of writing off equipment for multiple years, Section 179 allows businesses to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year it was bought.

The deduction limit for Section 179 in 2017 is $500,000 with a $2,000,000 threshold for the total amount of equipment purchased. In addition, 50% bonus depreciation has been extended through 2019. This means that purchasers can deduct an additional 50% of the amount over $500,000 in addition to the standard deduction. Bonus depreciation applies to new equipment purchased and put into service during 2017. Bonus depreciation does not apply to used equipment, but used equipment is still eligible to qualify for the standard Section 179 deductions.
