A Section 179 tax deduction may allow dental practices to take a tax deduction for the cost of qualifying purchases, such as new equipment, in the year it is purchased into service. Section 179 can result in a 2024 tax deduction for up to $3,050,000, help lower your taxable income, and increase cash flow.*

Especially now, as many dental practices are adapting to the current environment by implementing new standards of care, a Section 179 2024 tax deduction could be a win-win. Not only are you investing in your practice with the equipment, technology, and tools needed to become more efficient and provide better care, but you may be also eligible for a tax deduction with Section 179.* New equipment and technology are great examples of tax deductible expenses for dentists with Section 179.

To qualify for a Section 179 tax deduction on your 2024 taxes, you must purchase and place qualifying dental equipment into service by 12/31/2024, in addition to meeting other eligibility criteria under Section 179.*

  • This allows a dental office to lower their current-year tax liability rather than classifying it as an asset and depreciating it over time in multiple future tax years, as a smaller tax deductions.
