Did You Buy Motorsports Vehicles In 2024? The Section 179 Tax Deduction Could Save You Money

    Posted On: October 31, 2024
    A calculator, spreadsheet, and sticky note with the words "Tax Deduction" on a desk.

    Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying depreciable assets purchased or financed anytime in the 2024 tax year. The maximum deduction for 2024 is $1,220,000.

    You can get significant tax relief by writing off the entire cost of ATVs, utility vehicles, and other big-ticket purchases. To benefit from the 2024 tax deduction, you must purchase or finance the equipment and place it into service by midnight on December 31, 2024.

    What Assets Qualify For Section 179?

    Whether you're an independent operator or business owner, you can use the section 179 tax deduction for a range of business purchases. Qualifying items include new and used sport utility vehicles, farm machinery, construction equipment, trucks, trailers, computers, software, office furniture, and more.

    What’s The Maximum Write-Off?

    The maximum section 179 expense deduction for the 2024 tax year is $1,220,000. This limit is reduced by the amount by which the cost of section 179 property placed in service during the tax year exceeds $3,050,000. The IRS also specifies that the maximum section 179 expense deduction for sport utility vehicles placed into service in tax years beginning in 2024 is $30,500.

    How Can My Business Take The Deduction?

    To take the section 179 deduction, your business must complete Part 1 of IRS tax form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization, and attach it to your company tax return. To learn more about the section 179 expense deduction and how it compares to section 168(k) of the IRC (commonly known as bonus depreciation), check out this post from the financing experts at CurrencyFinance.
