2026 Section 179 FAQs
Can vehicles be deducted under Section 179?
Yes, qualifying Ford trucks, vans and SUVs placed into business service may be eligible for a Section 179 deduction. Eligibility depends on factors such as the vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), configuration and business use. The vehicle must be used for business more than 50% of the time. Visit Bommarito Ford to explore models that may fit your business needs, and consult a tax professional to confirm eligibility.
Does Section 179 apply for used car purchases?
Yes, Section 179 can apply to both new and qualifying used vehicles, provided they meet IRS acquisition requirements and are placed into business service by the applicable year-end deadline. Eligible new and used vehicles may also qualify for 100% bonus depreciation in 2026, subject to acquisition dates and other IRS rules. Contact the Bommarito Ford finance team to explore purchasing options, and ask your tax advisor about available deductions.
Can Section 179 be claimed multiple times?
Yes, businesses can generally claim Section 179 deductions year after year for additional qualifying purchases, subject to annual deduction limits, spending thresholds and business-income limitations. However, you cannot deduct the same portion of a vehicle’s cost more than once. Consult a qualified tax professional to determine how Section 179 applies to your business.
