O R G year and means that for most small businesses the entire cost of qualifying equipment can be written off on the 2022 tax return: The deduction limit for Section 179 is $1,080,000 in 2022 up from $1,050,000 in 2021. This means U.S. companies can deduct the full price of qualified equipment purchases, up to $1,080,000, with a "total equipment purchase" limit of $2.7 million (up from $2.62 million in 2021). This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. The 2022 Section 179 deduction threshold for total amount of equipment that can be purchased is $2,700,000. This means that you can purchase more equipment and still have the benefit of the Section 179 deduction. This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the IRS 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".
