The above is an overall, "birds-eye" view of the Section 179 Deduction for 2023.

How the Section 179 Tax Deduction Works
Do you want to write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment? Then you'll love the Section 179 Tax Deduction. This tax benefit allows you to write off the entire purchase of qualifying equipment. And for most small businesses, qualifying equipment can be written off on your current year's tax return. That's up to $1,160,000 worth of equipment. But what qualifies as equipment?
Most tangible goods used by American businesses, including "off-the-shelf" software and business-use vehicles.
- Heavy SUVs, trucks, and vans with a GVWR over 6,000 lbs.
- Non-Personal Work Vehicles (dump truck, farm tractor, etc.)
- Delivery Use Vehicles (cargo vans, box trucks)
- Specialty Vehicles with a Specific Use (hearse, ambulance, etc.)
Vehicles must be used for business purposes more than 50 percent of the time to qualify for the Section 179 Tax Deduction. For more guidelines on what property is covered under the Section 179 tax code, please contact your local tax specialist. Also, to qualify for the Section 179 Deduction, the equipment and/or software purchased or financed must be placed into service between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

Allowances for Section 179
Section 179 does come with limits - there are caps to the total amount written off ($1,160,000) and limits to the total amount of the equipment purchased ($2,890,000). The deduction begins to phase out on a dollar-for-dollar basis after $2,890,000 is spent by a given business (thus, the entire deduction goes away once $4,050,000 in purchases is reached), so this makes it a true small and medium-sized business deduction.
Who Can Qualify for Section 179 Benefit?
All businesses that purchase, finance, and/or lease new or used business equipment during tax year 2024 should qualify for the Section 179 Deduction (assuming they spend less than $4,050,000). For 2023, $1,160,000 of assets can be expensed; that amount phases out dollar for dollar when $2,890,000 of qualified assets are placed in service.
