Section 179 Tax Deduction

Section 179 at a Glance for 2018

2018 Deduction Limit = $1,000,000 (one million dollars) This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. To take the deduction for tax year 2018, the equipment must be financed/purchased and put into service between January 1, 2018 and the end of the day on December 31, 2018.

2018 Spending Cap on equipment purchases = $2,500,000 This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis. This spending cap makes Section 179 a true “small business tax incentive” (because larger businesses that spend more than $3.5 million on equipment won’t get the deduction.)

Bonus Depreciation:
100% for 2018 Bonus Depreciation is generally taken after the Section 179 Spending Cap is reached. Bonus Depreciation is available for new and used equipment.
