Hurry! Buy your equipment and software by Dec 31 to qualify for 2015 Tax benefits

10 days left to qualify for 2015 tax benefits on equipment and software purchase!  

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.

The US Government’s Section 179 tax deduction for 2015 has increased up to $500,000 on equipment and software purchases. The "Path Act" was passed by Congress on December 19th thus increasing the tax benefits for 2015. You need to purchase your equipment by December 31, 2015 to qualify!

Details according to the Section 179 website is per below.

2015 Deduction Limit = $500,000
This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. This limit is only good for 2015, and the equipment must be financed/purchased and put into service by the end of the day, 12/31/2015.

2015 Spending Cap on equipment purchases = $2,000,000 
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".

Bonus Depreciation: 50% for 2015
Bonus Depreciation is generally taken after the Section 179 Spending Cap is reached. Note: Bonus Depreciation is available for new equipment only.

The above is an overall, "simplified" view of the Section 179 Deduction for 2015. For more details on limits and qualifying equipment, as well as Section 179 Qualified Financing, please read this entire website carefully.
