See How Much You Can Write Off with Section 179

Section 179 lets businesses deduct 100% of the purchase price of qualifying warehouse equipment in the same year it’s placed into service.

Instead of depreciating your pallet racks, conveyors, or mezzanine over 5–10 years, you may be able to write off the entire cost this year — reducing your taxable income and improving cash flow immediately.

It’s one of the easiest tax incentives available to small and mid-sized companies, and many warehouse upgrades qualify.

To claim Section 179 deductions, follow these rules:

Equipment must be purchased and put into service before December 31

Must be used more than 50% for business

Deduction limits apply (we can add the yearly limit if you want)

FAQ

What is Section 179?

Section 179 is a tax incentive that allows eligible businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it’s placed into service, instead of depreciating it over several years. This can significantly reduce your taxable income.

What types of equipment qualify for Section 179?

Most tangible business equipment qualifies, including racking systems, material handling equipment, machinery, and certain software. The equipment must be purchased, not leased, and used primarily for business purposes.

Who is eligible to use Section 179?

Section 179 is available to small and mid-sized businesses that purchase or finance qualifying equipment. The deduction is limited to the amount of taxable business income, so it works best for profitable businesses.

How much can I deduct under Section 179?

Businesses may deduct up to the annual IRS limit (which changes yearly). The deduction begins to phase out once total equipment purchases exceed a certain threshold. Always consult your tax advisor to confirm how much you can claim.

Does financing or payment terms affect Section 179 eligibility?

No. Equipment that is financed or purchased with payment terms may still qualify for Section 179, as long as the equipment is placed into service during the tax year and you are obligated to pay for it.
