FAQ

Bonus depreciation has no annual limit on the deduction. Section 179 deductions are also limited to annual taxable business income, meaning that a business cannot deduct more money than it made. Bonus depreciation does not have this limit and can be used to create a net loss.

In 2023, the Section 179 deduction limit has been raised to $1,160,000 (an increase of $80,000 from 2022). This means your business can now deduct the entire cost of qualified equipment up to a total equipment purchase limit of $2.8 million.

A company can take both Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation allowances, but Section 179 must be applied first, and any amount over the $1,160,000 limit to Section 179 may then be taken in bonus depreciation. Effective 1/1/23, any property placed into service is no longer eligible for 100% bonus depreciation.

The maximum Section 179 expense deduction is $1,080,000. It's reduced dollar-for-dollar for qualified expenditures more than $2 million. The Section 179 deduction is limited to: The amount of taxable income from an active trade or business.

If you took the special depreciation allowance the first year you placed an item in service, enter the amount of special or "bonus" depreciation taken in the Prior Special Depreciation field.
