What Is Section 179? (Quick Definition)

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code lets a business elect to deduct the cost of qualifying property (such as business equipment, certain business vehicles, and off-the-shelf software) in the year it is placed in service, rather than depreciating it over multiple years, subject to annual limits and other rules. For current-year limits and deadlines, start here: Section 179 Deduction (2026). For background on how Section 179 has changed over time, see our Legislative History page.
