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 from your gross income!
How Section 179 Works
- In the past when your business bought qualifying equipment, it typically wrote it off a little at a time through depreciation.
- Section 179 allows your business to write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment for the current tax year.
- Businesses can use Section 179 to purchase needed equipment right now, instead of waiting. For most small businesses, the entire cost of qualifying equipment can be written-off (up to $1,000,000).
ADA, Section 44
Under Section 44, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) allows you to apply a credit of 50% of your purchase amount, up to $10,250 (maximum credit of $5000) for qualifying equipment, to offset the cost of purchasing certain adaptive equipment.
