Section 179 Explained

What Items Qualify for the Program?

Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code allows businesses to deduct the full price of a purchase of retail equipment or software in the current tax year, provided that it falls within the definitions of this article.

What It Covers?

This section 179, covers business supplies, improvements, upgrades and all property purchased or leased in the current fiscal year. With all types of businesses in mind, here is a list of those purchases that many businesses need to make that qualify for Section 179.
