2020 Deduction Limit = $1,040,000
This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. To take the deduction for tax year 2020, the
equipment must be financed or purchased and put into service between January 1, 2020 and the end of the day on December 31, 2020
2020 Spending Cap on Equipment Purchases = $2,590,000
This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be
reduced on a dollar for dollar basis. This spending cap makes Section 179 a true “small business tax incentive”
(because larger businesses that spend more than $3,630,000 on equipment won’t get the deduction.)
Bonus Depreciation: 100% for 2020
Bonus Depreciation is generally taken after the Section 179 Spending Cap is reached. The Bonus Depreciation is available for both new and used equipment.
