Understanding the IRS Section 179 Election
1 November 2024 | 0 replies
Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software up to an annual limit.In 2024, for example, taxpayers can expense up to $1,220,000 of qualified assets.This election can apply to many types of tangible personal property, such as machinery, equipment, and off-the-shelf software, which are used predominantly in your business.Limits on Section 179 ExpensingAs attractive as Section 179 may seem, there are limits.For tax year 2024, the maximum investment limit is set at $3,050,000.If your business places more than this amount in service, the amount you can expense is reduced dollar-for-dollar over this threshold.In addition to the dollar and investment limits, the amount of your Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your taxable business income for the year.This means that even if your business invests heavily in qualified property, the deduction could be limited by the business’s profitability.Also, not all property qualifies for Section 179.Real property, like buildings and structural components, generally does not qualify unless it is "qualified improvement property."

I just think, if this urgent care center happens to own its own x-ray, or even better MRI, and part of that machinery was financed with LL TI allowance and the machine runs with the lease and is LL property, that could be a big reason why the rents are higher, and in suite why the sale price PSF is higher.

Roof Replacement on Rental Property
9 September 2024 | 19 replies
I stand corrected.You cannot use Section 179 for a roof replacement on a real estate property because Section 179 is meant for equipment and certain other types of tangible personal property that businesses use in their operations, like machinery or computers.
