What Is Section 179?
Section 179 is part of the U.S. tax code that lets many businesses deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year it goes into service, instead of spreading it over several years.

Common Questions
Does it have to be delivered by December 31?
Generally it must be placed in service, meaning delivered, connected and ready for use in your business. That is why the order-by dates include time for freight and hookup.
What if freight runs late?
Holiday freight can slow down. We build in a buffer, but we cannot guarantee carrier delivery dates. Ordering earlier is the safest route.
Can I get an invoice for my accountant?
Yes. Every order comes with an itemized invoice. Email sales@lightarmor.us with your order number if you need another copy.
I use it in my home garage. Does it qualify?
Only if it is used more than 50% for a business. Personal and hobby use does not qualify.
What if my business had a slow year?
The Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your business income for the year; any extra carries forward. 100% bonus depreciation, which does not have that limit, may also apply. Your tax professional can tell you which works best.
