Have you heard of Section 179?
Section 179 is part of the IRS tax code that’s designed to help small businesses, just like yours. The idea is simple: if your company buys new qualifying equipment and/or software, you can deduct the full purchase price from your income in the current tax year, rather than depreciate it over several years. For example, if you purchase new computers that cost $50,000 before the end of 2022, Section 179 allows you to deduct the full cost of those computers in 2022 instead of depreciating them over time at $10,000 annually for five years.
Section 179 was designed to encourage you to invest in your business. You can write off up to $1,080,000 in this tax year!
But, there are two issues you need to be aware of:
- To qualify, the purchase must be made and the items must be put into service by December 31, 2022. If the equipment is not delivered and in use by the end of the year, you won’t qualify for this deduction. This leads to the next issue…
- There are issues with the technology supply chain right now that may cause delays in the delivery of some products. If you don’t get your orders in soon, you may lose out on this valuable “hidden tax relief”.
