2026 Section 179 Tax Benefits

Section 179 Business Tax Deductions

Put Your Business Investment to Work

If you're considering a vehicle for your business, Section 179 may provide an opportunity to deduct the cost of qualifying property, including certain business-use vehicles, subject to applicable requirements and limitations.

Fleetside Ford can help you explore commercial vehicle options for your business. Because tax circumstances and vehicle eligibility vary, consult your tax professional to determine whether a vehicle qualifies and how Section 179 may apply to your business.

How Section 179 Works

Section 179 is a federal tax provision that may allow eligible businesses to deduct the cost of qualifying property in the tax year it is placed in service, rather than recovering the cost through depreciation over several years. Certain vehicles purchased for business use may qualify, subject to applicable IRS requirements and limitations.

For businesses considering a new work vehicle, Section 179 may be an important part of planning that investment. Eligibility can depend on the vehicle, how the vehicle is used for business, and the individual taxpayer's circumstances, so not every vehicle or business will qualify for the same deduction.

At Fleetside Ford, we're here to help you find a vehicle that fits the needs of your business.  Explore our commercial inventory  to browse available work-ready vehicles and commercial solutions. When you're ready to take the next step, you can also  apply for Ford commercial credit  online.

Tax laws and individual circumstances vary. Consult a qualified tax professional to determine whether a vehicle qualifies and how Section 179 may apply to your business.
