Section 179 & Cost-Saving Advantages of Making Business Technology Purchases Before Year-End 2021

If you’re considering a software or hardware purchase, but just haven’t been able to pull the trigger – ask your tax advisor about Section 179 and the benefits of making purchases before December 31, 2021. Or, contact Net at Work about any potential technology-related purchases & we can connect you with the appropriate tax and leasing advisors.

What is Section 179 and How Does it Work?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment (which includes software, hardware) purchased, leased or financed during the tax year.

For all the qualifying equipment you buy or lease, you get to deduct the full purchase price from your gross income. If you elect to take Section 179, the full price of your equipment will be taken up front and not written off over time, like most practices do for their equipment.

2021 Deduction Limit is $1.05 Million!

This year, the deduction limit is $1,050,000. This is a substantial deduction and means businesses can deduct the full cost of equipment from their 2021 taxes, up to $1,050,000. This can really make a difference to your bottom line at the end of the year. To take the deduction for tax year 2021, the equipment must be financed or purchased and put into service between January 1, 2021 and the end of the day on December 31, 2021. Use Form 4562 to claim your deduction.

Lease & Still Take Full Advantage of the Section 179 Deduction

The main benefit of a non-tax capital lease is that you can still take full advantage of the Section 179 Deduction – yet make smaller payments. With a non-tax capital lease, you can acquire and write-off up to the deduction limit worth of equipment this year, without actually spending that amount this year.
