The following aspects were impacted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 2025 deduction limit was raised to $2.5 million dollars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 2025 phase-out threshold increased to $4 million dollars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Effective for qualifying property placed into service AFTER January 1, 2025. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the OB3 legislation was enacted, the 2024 inflation adjusted limits were $1.22 Million for the deduction, phasing out at $3.05 Million. As you can see, The Big Beautiful Bill elevated the Section 179 thresholds significantly, and it continues to adjust for inflation. Before the most recent update, this deduction last saw notable changes after 2017\u2019s TCJA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/tax-reform\/tax-cuts-and-jobs-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tax reform<\/a>.

Business income limitations are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The maximum deduction for 2026 (taxes filed in 2027) is $2,560,000 of expenditures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The beginning phaseout starts at $4,090,000. These amounts adjust for inflation each year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only certain types of property may be deducted. For example, qualifying tangible property, computer software, real property, vehicles, equipment, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-calculate-a-section-179-deduction\">How do you calculate a Section 179 deduction?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The deduction reduces dollar-for-dollar for qualified expenditures beyond the beginning phaseout. For example, let&#8217;s calculate the Section 179 tax write-off for a business making qualifying purchases of $4.5 million. First, subtract the phaseout amount from the qualifying purchase amount. That is $4.59 million &#8211; $4.09 million, or $500,000. Then, subtract that value from the maximum deduction. That is $2.56 million &#8211; $500,000. Therefore, the Section 179 amount would be $2.06 million in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplified formula is: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(Section 179 maximum deduction &#8211; (Qualifying purchases &#8211; Phaseout amount)) = Section 179 write-off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>($2.56M &#8211; ($4.59M &#8211; $4.09M)) = $2.06 Million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few additional rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The amount of taxable income from an active trade or business limits the Section 179 tax deduction. Any unused deduction may be carried over for an unlimited number of years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The deduction is pro-rated if business use is less than 100%. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The write-off is not allowed if business use is 50% or less.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/section-179-deduction-vehicle-list\/\">Vehicle expense deductions<\/a>, including this deduction, have separate limitations for the maximum amount of depreciation you can take. The overall limitation is based on these factors:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the vehicle is a car, truck, or van<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have chosen to take special or bonus depreciation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gross vehicle weight (read more about using Section 179 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/section-179-deduction-vehicle-list\/\">work vehicles<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the vehicle is bought or held for leasing by a business engaged in leasing passenger automobiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first year, the balance of the qualifying vehicle\u2019s cost depreciates at a different rate.

Section 179 deductions provide a good amount of control \u2014 you pick and choose which assets to expense and how much to deduct, making it useful if you want to manage taxable income carefully. Bonus depreciation is more all\u2011or\u2011nothing: if you use it for an asset, you generally must apply it to all assets in that same class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key difference is that Section 179 write-offs can\u2019t create a loss, while bonus depreciation can. That means businesses with lower income may lean on bonus depreciation to maximize deductions, while those with steadier profits might prefer the precision of Section 179. In many cases, businesses choose to use a blend of both methods to get the best tax outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Block Advisors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/small-business-tax-preparation\/\">Small Business Certified Tax Pro<\/a> can help you understand both paths and decide the best route to take to maximize your small business tax filing results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Feature<\/td><td>Section 179<\/td><td>Bonus Depreciation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2026 Limit<\/td><td>$2.56 Million<\/td><td>100% (no dollar limit)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Phase-Out Amount<\/td><td>Begins at $4.09 Million<\/td><td>None<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Restrictions<\/td><td>Cannot exceed taxable income<\/td><td>Can exceed taxable income, creating a net loss<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Qualifying Property<\/td><td>Tangible property, including software, equipment, vehicles, some property improvements, etc.<\/td><td>Limited to tangible property (software, equipment, vehicles, etc.) with no more than a 20-year life.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-need-support-find-tax-help-in-your-area\">Need support?
