Section 179 Increase

The Section 179 limit for 1st year expense in 2015 is now $500,000. This can be applied to both new and used equipment. What this could mean for your business: Instead of depreciating a newly acquired asset over several years, the Section 179 expense allows a business to take a current year deduction of the full purchase amount up to $500,000 for assets under $2 Million. This benefit begins to decline after total new asset acquisition tops $2 million. Over $2 million, the amount you can deduct decreases by $1 for every dollar spent above $2 million.
