It’s That Time of Year For Section 179 Purchases

Every year just as sweater weather rolls around in both our Pennsylvania and Minnesota locations, our customers begin to ask about Section 179 – and the tax breaks available on qualifying equipment purchases. We’re happy to provide our readers with up-to-date information on this beneficial allowance as part of the IRS tax code. For those who are new in business or haven’t yet utilized this benefit, keep reading to learn more. And for our readers familiar with the code, we’re ready for you!

WHAT IS SECTION 179, AND WHO QUALIFIES?

The IRS’ Section 179 is practical for small to medium-sized businesses, allowing them to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment bought or financed during the tax year (the end of the day on December 31, 2022), subtracted from the businesses’ gross income.

Under Section 179, companies can buy equipment (as a business expense). Parameters and benefits include:

• Both new and used machinery and vehicles are eligible (with some restrictions)
• The ability to buy more equipment during a calendar year
• Allowing businesses to make positive impacts on the US economy

There are no restrictions on the company size or type of company that can take advantage of the Section 179 tax credit.

WHAT ARE THE 2022 TAX BREAKS?

Each year since its inception, the parameters of Section 179 have included a deduction limit, a spending cap, and bonus depreciation. For 2022, the limits include the following:

WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN MY BUSINESS NOW?

Buying now (in 2022) can help your business this year and ensure you reap financial benefits come tax time. Section 179 is unique, allowing companies to be credited for the total purchase price of equipment rather than requiring depreciation over several years. So, you get the best of both worlds – buying the equipment you need to grow your business today and writing off 100 percent of the purchase price on your 2022 taxes.
