The U.S. Senate has passed a major enhancement to Section 179 of the IRS tax code as of Tuesday, December 16!<\/h1>\n

Wait, don’t fall asleep! Sure, we’re talking about the tax code and Congress, but this is GOOD NEWS for businesses in {city}. What’s the catch? YOU HAVE TO ACT NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SectionYou can read more about the benefits of the Section 179 tax deductions here<\/a>, but essentially this allows businesses like yours to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment or software that was either purchased or financed during the tax year. Not a partial price or the amount of tax you’d pay, but the entire full purchase price. That’s quite a chunk you can deduct from your gross income, and it doesn’t matter whether you paid in cash or you financed the sale.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the total amount that a business can write off for 2014 has been increased from $25,000 to a whopping $500,000! That’s retroactive back to the beginning of this year, January 1, 2014.<\/p>\n

BUT (and of course, there’s always a but): this enhancement will expire on December 31, 2014. It has only been approved for this year, so you only have the next two weeks to act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luckily, Section 179 has been designed to be easy to use. So long as you’ve bought or financed any eligible equipment<\/a> between Jan 1st<\/sup> and Dec 31st<\/sup>, 2014, you just have to fill out a form from the IRS to claim the amount. You can read more about the process here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example of how this tax deduction works:<\/strong><\/p>\n
