Tax Credit 179

Senate Passes 2016 Tax Incentives

The US Senate yesterday passed H.R. 5771 (the Tax Extenders Bill) which extends the enhanced levels of Section 179 ($500,000) through the end of 2014. Section 179 allows a taxpayer to immediately expense the entire cost of an investment (like equipment or software) in the year of purchase, instead of writing off the cost over the course of 3 to 15 years. The impact of the Senate vote yesterday means the deduction a company can take under section 179 is increased from $25,000 to $500,000 but only for the balance of 2015.

The time to act is now.

What is Tax Credit 179?

Section 179 has been enhanced for 2016 tax year. This is due to the passage of H.R.8: American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (The “fiscal cliff / fiscal crisis” bill).

2016 Deduction Limit = $500,000

2016 Limit on Capital Purchases = $2,000,000

2016 Bonus Depreciation = 50%

Please note the above limits are as of 12/20/2015, and are for tax year 2016. In addition, 2013′s old limit ($125,000 deduction) has now been raised to $500,000 as well. This means qualifying purchases you made in 2013 can now take advantage of the new, higher deduction limits.

Please Note:

Section 179 Deduction is available for most new and used capital equipment, and also includes certain software.

Bonus Depreciation can be taken on new equipment only (no used equipment, no software)

When applying these provisions, Section 179 is generally taken first, followed by Bonus Depreciation – unless the business has no taxable profit in the given tax year.

 Also, many businesses are finding Section 179 Qualified Financing to be an attractive option in 2016.
