Section 179

Schedule Paint ProtectionSee Qualifying Inventory
Section 179 allows qualifying businesses to deduct up to the full purchase price of certain new or used vehicles, equipment and/or software purchased and placed into service during the tax year.

What is Section 179?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying vehicles during the tax year. This deduction helps businesses reduce their taxable income, offering significant savings. For 2024, up to $1,220,000 in qualifying assets can be expensed, though this amount phases out dollar-for-dollar after spending $3,050,000 on qualified assets. To qualify, equipment must be purchased and placed into service between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

 After the Section 179 deduction is applied, businesses can take additional Bonus Depreciation, which is set at 80% for 2024. Bonus Depreciation benefits large businesses exceeding the Section 179 spending limit or those with net losses, as unused deductions can be carried forward.

Businesses may qualify if they meet the following criteria:

  • Purchase or finance qualifying equipment: This includes new or used equipment and certain vehicles.
  • Use the equipment predominantly for business: The equipment must be used more than 50% of the time for business purposes.
  • Meet spending limits: Total spending on qualifying equipment must be less than $4,270,000 in 2024.
