Section 179 Tax Deduction Blue Springs MO
How Section 179 Works:
Thanks to guidelines under the IRS Section 179 tax code, many small and medium-sized businesses that invest in new equipment can now write off up to $1,220,000 of these purchases on their 2024 IRS tax returns. In years past, businesses were required to spread these deductions over several years. The tax benefits provided under IRS Section 179, allow many small businesses to write off the entire purchase cost of one or more qualifying new Chevy trucks or vans. Again, that's up to $1,220,000 worth, all in the first year they're placed in service.
Limits of Section 179
Section 179 does come with limits — there are caps to the total amount written off ($1,220,000), and limits to the total amount of the equipment purchased ($3,050,000). The deduction begins to phase out on a dollar-for-dollar basis after $3,050,000 is spent by a given business (thus, the entire deduction goes away once $4,270,000 in purchases is reached), so this makes it a true small and medium-sized business deduction.
What vehicles qualify for the Section 179 deduction?
Vehicles that qualify for a Section 179 tax write-off include:
- Heavy SUVs, pickups, and vans with more than 60% business use with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) over 6,000 lbs.
- Vehicles clearly designated as “work” and have no potential for personal use are typically considered work vehicles.
- Vehicles with no passenger seating, such as cargo vans and box trucks, can qualify.
*Plus any remaining basis using MACRS method

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is IRS Section 179? How Can It Help My Bottom Line?
Section 179 is the current IRS tax code that allows you to buy qualifying Chevrolet vehicles and deduct up to the full purchase price (including any amount financed) from your gross taxable income if purchased before December 31, 2024. That means that if you buy a piece of qualifying equipment and products, you may be able to write off up to the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross taxable income this year!

Which Vehicles Qualify For Tax Savings?
Trucks with a GVWR greater than 6,000 lbs. and a bed length of at least six feet (i.e., Silverado 1500, 2500/3500) qualify for the maximum first-year depreciation deduction of up to the FULL PURCHASE PRICE. SUVs, including trucks, with a bed length of fewer than six feet and a GVWR greater than 6,000 lbs. (i.e., Colorado, Tahoe and Suburban) qualify for a maximum first-year depreciation deduction of up to the first $25,000 of the full purchase price plus 60% depreciation of any remaining balance.
What Is Accelerated Depreciation?
Both Section 179 and bonus depreciation (or bonus deduction) are the two most common forms of accelerated deduction. Both allow businesses to deduct more of the cost of an asset early on, rather than depreciating it over a longer period of time.

What Is “Bonus Depreciation”?
The IRS 100% bonus depreciation allows businesses to save more on assets when they are first purchased, and can be used with or without Section 179.

For more information about the Section 179 expense write-off or other business vehicle expense write-offs, you should consult your tax advisor for complete rules applicable to your transaction and visit the Internal Revenue Website at www.irs.gov. This analysis applies only to vehicles placed in service in the United States after January 1, 2024 and by December 31, 2024 with no written binding contract for acquisition in effect before January 1, 2024. The aggregate deduction of $1,220,000 under Internal Revenue Code Section 179 is most beneficial to small businesses that place in service less than $3,050,000 of "Section 179 property" during the year (vehicles and other business property). IRC Section 280F(d)(7(B) requires that the limitation under IRC Section 280F(a)(1) be adjusted annually, based on the CPI automobile component for October of the preceding year. The IRS officially announced the Section 280F depreciation limits in Revenue Procedure 2018-23. The passenger automobile imitation is $11,160, the trucks/vans under 6,000 lbs. limitation is $11,560. SUV's over 6,000 pounds GVWR are limited to a deduction of $25,000 under Section 179(b)(5) with the remaining basis in the vehicle depreciated under normal MACRS methods. The expensing restrictions under Section 280F do not apply to vehicles that are considered to be "qualified non-personal use vehicles" (QNUVs). A QNUV is generally a vehicle that, by virtue of its nature or design, is not likely to be used more than a de minimis amount for personal purposes. For more information, see Income Tax Reg., Sec. 1.280F-6(c)(3)(iii), Income Tax Reg. Sec. 1.274-5T(k), and Revenue Ruling 86-97, and contact your tax advisor for details.
