How Equipment Financing Can Help You Get Your Max Income Tax Deduction

This tax break rewards growing businesses for investing in themselves. Unlike normal depreciation, Section 179 allows your business to write-off 100% of the purchase price (up to $1,050,000) of the equipment you finance.

If your business finances or purchases equipment between January 1^st to December 31^st, and uses that equipment, you can legally avoid paying federal income taxes on your 2022 profits.

Under IRS Section 179, this simple yet true tax benefit allows 100% of equipment cost to be depreciated in the year acquired against that year’s business profits. And yes, even if the new or used equipment is financed, it qualifies for the Section 179 depreciation cash savings.

Section 179 tax is the U.S. government’s way of stimulating the economy. When businesses are encouraged to invest in themselves, and with more equipment working, jobs are created. Then, there is a corresponding increase in wages and payroll taxes from the businesses manufacturing, selling, and using the equipment.
