For the tax year 2025, the IRS has increased the maximum Section 179 deduction to $2,500,000. This means businesses can deduct up to $2.5 million of the cost of qualifying equipment purchased and placed into service by December 31, 2025. This increase aims to foster continued investment in vital medical equipment, especially in a competitive healthcare landscape.

Spending Caps and Phase-Out Thresholds

While the deduction limit has increased, it is important to be aware of the overall spending cap on qualifying equipment. The total amount of equipment purchased that can be fully deducted is $4,000,000. Once your total qualifying equipment purchases exceed this threshold, the deduction starts to phase out dollar-for-dollar.

This means that if your equipment purchases surpass $4 million, your deductible amount will reduce proportionally, emphasizing the importance of planning your investments within the deduction limits to maximize savings.

The Advantage of Immediate Deduction

One of the most attractive features of Section 179 is the ability to immediately expense the full cost of equipment, rather than spreading deductions over multiple years through depreciation. This benefit translates into substantial tax savings in the current fiscal year, freeing up capital for further investments or operational needs.

Use of the Section 179 Tax Calculator

To help businesses estimate potential savings, Auxo Medical recommends utilizing Ascentium Capital’s Section 179 Tax Calculator. This online tool provides an estimate of how much a healthcare practice or business could save by leveraging this tax advantage based on specific purchase amounts and financing options.
