Check out our quick guide to learn what kind of equipment qualifies and key changes that took effect in 2025!

What is Section 179?

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows qualifying businesses to deduct the cost of an asset in the year it's placed in service, instead of depreciating it over several years. Eligible assets generally include tangible property used in your business, such as machinery and equipment. This means you can deduct the full cost of tractors, excavators, track loaders, and more!

The deduction cannot exceed your business’s taxable income for the year, and any unused amount may carry forward to future tax years. To claim the deduction, fill out IRS Form 4562 and submit it with your business tax return.

How Our Customers Benefit from Section 179 Tax Deductions

If you’re in need of some new equipment, claiming Section 179 tax deductions can yield some significant advantages! Depending on your taxable income and the equipment you select, you may be able to deduct most or all of the purchase cost in the year you place your equipment in service. That improves your cash flow and makes it easier to reinvest in your operation! 

Because state conformity, income limitations, and asset-specific rules may vary, it’s important to time your purchases and plan your deduction elections carefully. Luckily, the Mission Valley Kubota team has your back! We can help you find the perfect equipment, provide all the purchase documentation you need for your tax return, and more.
