For the 2022 tax year, the US Senate Finance Committee has extended Section 179, one of the biggest small business tax deductions available for purchasing and leasing equipment or software.
We’ve explained in the past how to leverage small business tax benefits with Section 179 in the past and the great news is that you can still use this big advantage in 2022!
What this Deduction Means for Private Practice Owners:
The Section 179 deduction can have a substantial impact on your finances. You can write off all the qualifying business equipment or software you purchase for the 2022 tax year. Since being introduced in 2015, this deduction has continued to improve and now allows for a maximum deduction of $1,080,000 with a phase-out threshold of over $2.5M.
The Section 179 law allows for a depreciation percentage of 100% for qualified property acquired and placed in service. No longer do you have to write off a little at a time – you can write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year you purchased it!
The Purpose of Section 179 Tax Incentive for Small Businesses
The entire impetus behind this incredible tax incentive is to grow the American economy and help move your business in a positive direction. By motivating you to grow your business and invest in yourself, you can save money while the tax incentive is still active.
Plus, now qualified nonresidential real property improvements qualify under Section 179 including improvements to the interior and exterior or adding an HVAC, fire or security system.

For example, a NEUBIE purchase’s first year deduction could shave over $6,000 off your total purchase price. It’s truly a game-changing tax saving for small businesses.
