Tax provisions accelerate depreciation on qualifying equipment, office furniture, technology, software and other business items. Qualifying businesses may deduct a significant portion, up to $1,220,000 in 2024 (to be adjusted for inflation in future years). There is a dollar-for-dollar phase out for purchases over $3.05 million, meaning when purchases are greater than $4.27 million, you will not receive this benefit intended for small to mid-size businesses.
For 2024, bonus depreciation drops to 60% on qualifying assets. Consequently, Section 179 may help bolster your bottom line, enabling you to garner the benefits of new equipment and technology that can help grow your business.
For eligible businesses to capture these tax savings, qualifying property must be placed in service before December 31, 2024. Simply choose your business equipment or technology and Ascentium can design payments to help you make a profitable decision.
Section 179 was created as part of a government stimulus act to encourage small businesses to invest in their growth by providing accelerated depreciation and tax deductions on qualifying business purchases.
For 2024, the maximum amount you may elect to deduct is $1,220,000 on qualifying property purchased and placed into service during the 2024 tax year. If your purchases exceed $3.05 million, the deduction amount will be reduced dollar for dollar equal to the amount over $3.05 million.
If filing for 2023, the maximum amount you may elect to deduct is $1,160,000 on qualifying property purchased and placed into service during the 2023 tax year. If the purchases exceeded $2.89 million, the deduction amount will be reduced dollar for dollar equal to the amount over $2.89 million. Qualifying assets must have been put into service prior to December 31, 2023.
For the 2022 tax year, the maximum amount you could deduct was $1,080,000 on qualifying property. If your purchases exceeded $2.7 million, the deduction amount will be reduced dollar for dollar equal to the amount over $2.7 million. Qualifying assets must have been put into service prior to December 31, 2022.
Bonus depreciation allows qualifying businesses that spend more than the 2024 Section 179 limit to depreciate up to 60% on the remaining purchase amount. Bonus depreciation is very useful to companies that spend more than the allowed $3.05 million in a tax year. After Section 179 deductions are taken by a small business, bonus depreciation may be applied to further accelerate depreciation.
