Section 179 Deduction 2014

For 2014 two highly favorable federal income tax provisions for business owners have been curtailed or eliminated.

Section 179 deduction 2014. The maximum section 179 expense deduction that can be elected for qualified section 179 real property is 250 000 of the maximum section 179 deduction of 500 000 for tax years beginning in 2014. The new law effectively reinstates irs section 179 deduction limits to 500 000 as well as reinstates the 50 bonus depreciation. First special 50 percent first year bonus depreciation available before 2014 for certain qualified property is no longer available for most types of property.

If you acquire and place in service more than one item of qualifying property during the year you can allocate the section 179 expense deduction among the items in any way as long as the total deduction is not more than 25 000. The section 179 limits for the year 2014 were increased by the american taxpayer relief act of 2012 which allows businesses to write off up to 500 000 of qualified equipment. This means businesses can deduct the full cost of equipment from their 2014 taxes up to 500 000.

The section 179 deduction is currently 500 000 for 2014. Plus the 50 bonus depreciation has returned as well making section 179 a fantastic deal for 2014. Small and medium businesses benefit the most.
