Expert Solution
Step 1

Section 179 of Internal revenue Code:

Businesses are entitled to immediately deduct costs associated with operating depreciable assets like machinery, cars, and software under IRC Section 179. Instead of capitalizing an asset and depreciating it over time in subsequent tax years, this enables firms to reduce their tax bill for the current year. Businesses may deduct the whole purchase price of any eligible piece of equipment or software in the year that it was bought or financed according to Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code.
