This estimate is a planning illustration, not tax advice or a guaranteed tax saving. The equipment invoice remains payable in full. Tax savings generally arise through your tax payments or return, not at checkout.

Section 179 accelerates deductions that could otherwise be taken over time. It is not a tax credit or an additional lifetime deduction. State taxes, QBI effects, entity/owner limitations, existing carryovers and depreciation recapture may change the result. Confirm with your tax adviser.

A deduction, not a rebate

A $65,000 deduction at a 21% federal marginal rate illustrates $13,650 in federal tax savings, provided the full deduction is usable.

More than one tax option

100% bonus depreciation may also apply to eligible property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025. This preview models Section 179 only and does not stack bonus depreciation onto the same basis.

Plan with your tax adviser

Equipment eligibility, tax basis, income capacity and taxpayer-level limits need confirmation. Financing may qualify when you are the tax owner; lease treatment depends on the arrangement.
