Melanie Baldridge Understanding the IRS Section 179 Election
1 November 2024 | 0 replies
Examples of qualified improvement property include improvements made to the interior of nonresidential real property, such as HVAC systems or alarm and security systems.We refrain from making direct recommendations on Section 179 because we believe this decision is best made by the CPA, who completely understands the client’s overall tax situation.The decision to elect Section 179 is deeply tied to broader tax implications, including other deductions, income limitations, and future business planning.Your CPA has a holistic view of your finances and can help you make the right choice.TLDR:* Section 179 is a powerful tool for business owners and real estate investors, allowing immediate expensing of qualifying assets in the year they are placed in service.* Annual limits apply to how much can be expensed, with the 2024 cap set at $1,220,000, and investment limits that start to phase out when more than $3,050,000 of property is placed in service.* Not all property qualifies for Section 179.
