A. Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code allows a business to deduct, for the current tax year, the full purchase price of financed or leased equipment and off-the-shelf software that qualifies for the deduction. The equipment financed, leased or purchased has to be within the specified dollar limits of Section 179, and the equipment must be placed into service in the same tax year that the deduction is being taken (for example, the equipment must be put into service between January 1st and December 31st of the year the deduction is to be taken.)
A. The most important difference is both new and used equipment qualify for Section 179 Deduction, while Bonus Depreciation covers new equipment only. Bonus Depreciation is useful to very large businesses spending more than whatever Section 179's spending limit is for that year. Also, businesses with a net loss in a given tax year qualify to carry-forward the Bonus Depreciation to a future year. When applying these provisions, Section 179 is generally taken first, followed by Bonus Depreciation - unless the business has no taxable profit in the given tax year.
A. Absolutely. In fact, this is a very effective strategy, as the deduction you take may actually exceed the total loan or lease payments you make for the year.
A. Most vehicles and equipment that businesses purchase or lease will qualify for the deduction. Please review the list of equipment that qualifies for the Section 179 Deduction in the chart below.
A. The amount you can deduct is generally equal to the purchase price of qualifying property up to $25,000.

There is also a limitation for businesses that purchase more than $200,000 in qualified equipment. The IRS website has a more detailed explanation of deduction limits.
A. Yes. To qualify for the Section 179 deduction for any given tax year, the equipment must be purchased or leased and placed into service between January 1 and December 31 of that year.
