Increasing efficiency and better company morale are 2 highly desired benefits of buying new equipment or upgrading your existing equipment for 2023

Here’s what to know for 2023

Hidden IRS Tax Benefit: The lesser known Section 179 tax benefit allows you to write off the entire spend on new IT equipment and other capital expenditures in this tax year (rather than depreciate over a few years). To qualify you must make the purchase and put it into service by the end of the day on December 31, 2023.

  • 2023 Deduction Limit = $1,160,000 

    This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. To take the deduction for tax year 2023, the equipment must be financed or purchased and put into service between January 1, 2023 and the end of the day on December 31, 2023.
  • 2023 Spending Cap on equipment purchases = $4,050,000 

    This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis. This spending cap makes Section 179 a true “small business tax incentive” (because larger businesses that spend more than $3,780,000 on equipment won’t get the deduction.)
  • Bonus Depreciation: 80% for 2023 

    Bonus Depreciation is generally taken after the Section 179 Spending Cap is reached. The Bonus Depreciation is available for both new and used equipment.

What is the IRS Section 179 Deduction?

What is the IRS Section 179 Deduction? Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year. That means that if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. It’s an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. Today, Section 179 is one of the few incentives included in any of the recent Stimulus Bills that actually helps small businesses. Although large businesses also benefit from Section 179 or Bonus Depreciation, the original target of this legislation was much needed tax relief for small businesses – and millions of small businesses are actually taking action and getting real benefits.
Essentially, it works like this: When your business buys certain items of equipment, it typically gets to write them off a little at a time through depreciation. In other words, if your company spends $50,000 on a machine, it gets to write off (say) $10,000 a year for five years (these numbers are only meant to give you an example). Now, while it’s true that this is better than no write-off at all, most business owners would really prefer to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year they buy it. In fact, if a business could write off the entire amount, they might add more equipment this year instead of waiting over the next few years.   That’s the whole purpose behind Section 179 – to motivate the American economy (and your business) to move in a positive direction.
