What is the Section 179 tax deduction limit for 2014 income taxes?

The limit for Section 179 expense is $500,000 as it has been for the past few years. This is the limit for any one return but that certainly doesn't mean you can write of $500,000 on your tax return. The cap is firstly the cost of Section 179 allowed property, and secondly, you cannot write off any amount that would cause you to have a loss for the tax year. There are also certain limits within different types of property, so you need to be careful and you certainly should have someone preparing your taxes if you are in a situation whereby you would be using items such as 179 expensing.

What depreciation method do you use when filing taxes?

When filing taxes, businesses often use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for depreciation. This method allows for accelerated depreciation, meaning a larger expense deduction in the earlier years of an asset's life, which can reduce taxable income. Certain assets may also qualify for bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing, allowing for immediate deductions. The choice of method can depend on the asset type and the business's financial strategy.
