IRS Section 179 Details for the Upcoming Tax Season

Businesses in Virginia and the Washington, D.C., area can deduct the purchase price of qualifying vehicles in the tax year they're put into service. This is a smart business move, rather than stretching depreciation across several years. Claim the entire cost of a qualifying BMW business vehicle upfront.

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code creates this tax deduction and places vehicles with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of at least 6,000 pounds into the "Heavy" category. The BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7, BMW XM, and BMW iX are qualifying models. These BMW passenger SUVs have a maximum Section 179 deduction of $32,000. Passenger cars have lower "luxury auto" depreciation limits.

The business-use requirement is greater than 50 percent. That means you must drive an eligible BMW for business purposes more than half the time. Your deduction is limited to the percentage of business use. The title of the qualifying BMW vehicle must be in the name of the business and not the owner. Grow your business in Fairfax, Washington, D.C., or the greater DMV with these potential tax benefits under Section 179.

Price excludes required taxes, tag, other governmental fees and includes a processing fee of $850.
