Time running out on getting key tax breaks

Check your budgets and mention this to your Finance people: You have just a few months left to take advantage of some high-limit tax deductions.

We’re talking about the so-called Section 179 expense limits. In fact, if you’re thinking about putting off some purchases until next year, you may want to reconsider and push up your plans: Certain deductions will be  greater if taken before Dec. 31.

Examples of purchases you can claim:

  • equipment and machinery purchased for business use
  • tangible personal property used for business
  • office furniture
  • computers
  • off-the-shelf (not customized) software

What you can’t take as a 179 deduction:

  • a/c and heating equipment
  • business property used outside the U.S.

Or you can put potential purchases through this online calculator to see what your savings will be.
