In this blog, we'll explore the benefits and cons of Section 179 and how customers of MFI Medical can optimize their tax savings by making strategic purchases before the year closes.

Understanding Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code

Section 179 of the IRS tax code is a provision that allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment purchased or financed during the tax year. Instead of capitalizing and depreciating the asset over several years, businesses can immediately deduct the full purchase price from their gross income.
