Order Now to Leverage Section 179 2021 Tax Deduction for Small Business Technology Investment

With 2021 going out surprisingly strong, owners of expanding businesses welcome the news of generous year-end tax deductions. With Section 179 2021 offering significant tax relief, small businesses can end the year with an investment in modernized technology to continue the growth in 2022. But, due to potential supply chain shortages, you should order now to complete the transaction before year end.

Section 179 2021 Increased Deduction Limits

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which took effect in 2018, introduced some eye-popping adjustments to Section 179. Combined with bonus depreciation, they put more money into your business investment budget. These changes include the following:

    • Deduction limit doubled – For new and used equipment purchased and put into use before the end of the year, the total amount you can deduct was increased to $1 million. This also applies to off-the-shelf software. The deduction limit adjusts annually for inflation, making the 2021 limit $1,050,000.
    • Spending cap now $2,620,000 – Once the total amount of equipment purchased exceeds $2,620,000 the deduction begins to phase out. That is, if you spend between $1,050,000 and $2,620,000 you take the full $1,050,000 deduction. After $2,620,000, your tax write-off begins to decrease by one dollar for every extra dollar spent.
    • Bonus depreciation 100 percent for 2021 – Surprisingly, bonus depreciation is not offered every year. In 2021, bonus depreciation is available at 100%. It works like this. Once you reach the deduction limit, you can elect to take bonus depreciation on remaining items.

That means that you take the full depreciation in the first year, instead of spreading it out over several years. While bonus depreciation only applied to new equipment in the past, it now also applies to used equipment.

For example, a business takes advantage of the opportunity to replace aging computers and install modern video conferencing technology. With qualifying expenses totaling $1.25 million, the business qualifies for the $1,050,000 deduction. It then takes the bonus depreciation for the remaining $200,000. In the current 21% percent small business tax rate for corporations, the investment gains $262,500 in tax write-offs.

Section 179 2021 Items to Add to Your Tax Savings List
