Section 179: The Ultimate Small Business Write-off

Under IRC §179, you can immediately expense (i.e. write-off) up to $1,2MM of qualifying business property—no waiting to depreciate it over numerous years. It’s extremely helpful for cash flow and for growth.

Here are some of the things that qualify for Section 179 in 2025:
• Computers & Office Tech
• Machinery & Equipment
• Business Vehicles (subject to limits)
• Office Furniture
• Software
• Safety & Security Upgrades
• Upgrades to your office space (i.e. Leasehold Improvements)

Almost all of these have various rules around what you can take & how, so make sure to consult with your tax professional before making any purchases. But by writing off these costs all upfront, you reduce taxable income today which helps free up cash for reinvestment tomorrow.
