Tax Information
Section 179 Deduction Limit is $2,560,000 for 2026.
2026 Section 179 Update
For tax years beginning in 2026, businesses may be able to deduct up to $2,560,000 in qualifying equipment purchases under Section 179. The deduction begins to phase out when total qualifying Section 179 property placed in service during the year exceeds $4,090,000.
To be eligible for a 2026 Section 179 deduction, qualifying equipment generally must be purchased and placed in service by December 31, 2026. Simply ordering or paying for equipment before year-end may not be enough if the equipment has not yet been placed in service.
IMPORTANT: Delivery, refurbishment, installation, and scheduling can all take time. If you are considering an equipment purchase for the 2026 tax year, planning ahead can help ensure your equipment is delivered, installed, and ready for use before year-end.
Partnering with DuraPro Health / Dental Planet for your equipment investment can help you make the most of your equipment budget. We provide dental professionals with affordable options for professionally refurbished equipment, competitively priced new equipment, and digital imaging systems.
Qualifying new and used business equipment may be eligible for Section 179 treatment, depending on the equipment, business use, taxable income, and other IRS requirements.
Strategic equipment investments for your practice may help reduce your tax liability while also lowering your overall cost of ownership.
Tax laws and individual circumstances vary. DuraPro Health / Dental Planet does not provide tax or accounting advice. Please consult your CPA or tax professional to determine whether a purchase qualifies and how Section 179 applies to your business.
Section 179 Deduction
What this could mean for your business:
Instead of depreciating qualifying equipment over several years, Section 179 may allow your business to deduct some or all of the eligible purchase price in the year the equipment is placed in service.
For tax years beginning in 2026, the maximum Section 179 deduction is $2,560,000. The deduction begins to phase out when total qualifying Section 179 property placed in service during the year exceeds $4,090,000.
New and qualifying used or refurbished business equipment may be eligible, subject to IRS requirements and your individual tax situation.
