What is the Section 179 Deduction for Businesses?
The Section 179 Deduction was originally created to give small businesses a much-needed tax relief, and it acts as an incentive by the United States government to urge businesses to invest in their company and buy equipment and/or software. Now businesses of all sizes can benefit. The full purchase price can be deducted from your gross income during the tax year.
To take the deduction for tax year 2018, the equipment must be financed or purchased and put into service between January 1, 2018 and the end of the day on December 31, 2018.
