Maximize Your Tax Savings with Section 179: Immediate Write-Off for Business Assets
Did you invest in new equipment or business property this year? Thanks to Section 179 of the IRS tax code, your business could write off the entire cost of qualifying purchases in the same year they’re placed into service.
Instead of spreading deductions over multiple years through depreciation, Section 179 lets you take advantage of an immediate deduction—giving your bottom line a timely boost.
What Qualifies?
- New or used equipment
- Office furniture
- Certain software
- Machinery and tools
