Starting in 2018, there is a $1 million limit on the total amount of business property expenses you can deduct each year using Section 179. This dollar limit applies to all your businesses together, not to each business you own and run. You do not have to claim the full amount. It’s up to you to decide how much of the cost of property you want to deduct. But you don’t lose out on the remainder; you can depreciate any cost you do not deduct under Section 179.

If you purchase more than one item of Section 179 property during the year, you can divide the deduction among all the items in any way, as long as the total deduction is not more than the Section 179 limit. It’s usually best to apply Section 179 to property that has the longest useful life and therefore the longest depreciation period. This reduces the total time you have to wait to get your deductions.
