Section 179 Tax Deductions | Protect Your Business

Keep your business moving in the right direction with Dahlstrom Motors and Section 179. Your overall business health is influenced by the equipment you and your crew have access to, in addition to your financial status. That is why Section 179 is a great resource to take advantage of.

What is Section 179?

Section 179 is a game changer. Instead of being limited to writing off the cost of depreciation for your equipment a little at a time over years, like businesses had to do in the past, Section 179 is an IRS tax code that allows you to write off up to 100% of the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it's placed into service. The equipment must be used for business purposes at least 50% of the time.
