It’s that time again, and sure enough—there are changes to the Section 179 Tax Deduction regarding capital equipment purchase deduction limits, retroactive measures and shifting depreciation rates.

Here Are The Highlights

  • The Section 179 deduction for 2022 is $1,080,000, which is up $300,000 from last year’s $1,050,000.
  • The 2022 “total equipment purchase” limit for 2022 is $2.7 million, an increase of $192,000 from last year’s $2.62 million.
  • These deductions include both used and new qualified equipment.
  • Businesses can take advantage of 100% bonus depreciation for the entirety of 2022.
  • When placing your order for 2022, be sure to account for supply chain issues and delivery times!

What You Should Know About COVID-19 and Section 179

Did you have to buy new equipment to conform to COVID-19 restrictions? Many of those can qualify for the Section 179 Tax Deduction. You can find details here: https://www.section179.org/section_179_covid-19/.

You’ll be happy to learn that eligibility for the Section 179 Tax Deduction for 2020 isn’t affected by pandemic-related financial assistance you may have received, like PPP Loans. So even if a company received Pandemic-related assistance or a PPP Loan, they can still claim a Section 179 Deduction.
