Anya Gedlinske, a graduate student in accounting.
However, Gedlinske noted the maximum on Section
179.
“There is a $1 million limit on this deduction, and this
limit is reduced by the amount that property placed in

provide smaller businesses with an incentive to purchase
more equipment since they will receive more of a tax

Gedlinske said Section 179 changes will benefit

promoting growth and competition and because of the
