Understanding section 179
Grow Your Business & Save MoneyBREAKING NEWS:
IN 2021.
WHAT IS SECTION 179?
Simply put, 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. This means that if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct 100% the purchase price from your gross income. It’s an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. This lowers your business’ taxable income.

DOES COMMERCIAL PROPERTY QUALIFY?
To qualify for the section 179 deduction, your property must have been acquired for use in your trade or business. Property you acquire only for the production of income, such as investment property, rental property (if renting property is not your trade or business), and property that produces royalties, does not qualify.
