What is Section 179?
Section 179 is an IRS tax code which allows businesses to deduct the full purchase of qualifying equipment like work vehicles. Some "heavy" SUVs, pickup trucks and vans used over 50% for business purposes are eligible for the first-year Section 179 depreciation write-off in the year they are first put to business use.
Why Section 179 Deduction is Good for Your Business
One of the advantages of Section 179 is that it reduces taxable income. Depreciation is normally deducted as an expense to the business over the life of the vehicle. Here is where depreciation spreads the expense of owning a work vehicle over the life of the asset. Starting in 2018, businesses were able to write off up to $1,000,000 worth of purchases in their 2018 IRS tax returns. Here are general IRS guidelines for using the Section 179 Deduction for vehicle purchases.
What Vehicles Qualify for the Full Section 179 Deduction?
SUVs, trucks and vans, and other vehicles that do not qualify as passenger vehicles are not subject to the IRS limits. You can take a full depreciation deduction each year. When you use bonus depreciation and/or section 179, you may be able to deduct all or most of the cost of such a vehicle in a single year.
