How Equipment Financing Helps You Get A Maximum Income Tax Deduction
Section 179 is the U.S. government’s way of stimulating the economy by rewarding growing businesses for purchasing equipment.
Here’s how it works: Jobs are created when businesses are encouraged to invest in themselves by adding more working equipment. Then there’s a corresponding increase in wages and payroll taxes from the businesses manufacturing, selling, and using the equipment.
Unlike normal depreciation, Section 179 allows your business to write-off 100% of the purchase price (up to $1,080,000) of the equipment you finance. This simple yet true tax benefit allows 100% of the equipment’s purchase cost to be depreciated in the year acquired against that year’s business profits. The equipment can be either new or used to qualify for Section 179 depreciation.

Section 179 Deduction Limits for 2022
The 2022 Section 179 deduction limit for businesses is $1,080,000 (a $30,000 increase from 2021). Your business can deduct the full price of qualified equipment with a "total equipment purchase" limit of $2.7 million.
If your business finances equipment between January 1st to December 31st and uses it before the end of 2022, you can legally avoid paying federal income taxes on your 2022 profits.
If you purchase equipment over $1,080,000 (and put it into service by December 31st this year), you may qualify for Bonus Depreciation. Bonus depreciation details are complex, so be sure to consult your tax adviser!
Start The Process Sooner Than Later
It’s best to start the process sooner than later especially before the year-end rush.
The sooner you start, the more likely you can use the opportunity to keep cash in your business and avoid equipment not being available when you need it.
Remember: Equipment must be in use before the end of 2022 to qualify. If the equipment you are looking at takes a few months to deliver, plan ahead – that way, you can make sure it is available before the deadline.
Is Section 179 Going Away in 2023?
No, the good news is you can still take advantage of this tax deduction.
