Section 179 expensing limit for 2026: $2,560,000, phasing out above $4,090,000
-
For tax years beginning in 2026, you can elect to expense up to $2,560,000 of section 179 property such as shelving, scanners, computers or a work vehicle. The limit shrinks dollar for dollar once the cost of section 179 property you place in service during the year passes $4,090,000, and an SUV counts for no more than $32,000. Figures from Rev. Proc. 2025-32. General information, not tax advice: check with a tax professional.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
A deduction limit, not a fee. Most resellers are far below it; the SUV cap is the line that usually matters.
