Section179 Petition
Petition to Increase the Section 179 Deduction Limit
Support American businesses by urging Congress to raise the Section 179 deduction cap
Section 179 allows businesses to deduct the cost of qualifying equipment and software in the year it’s purchased. While the deduction has helped millions of businesses invest and grow, the current Section 179 deduction limit no longer reflects today’s equipment costs or inflation.

Why the Section 179 Deduction Limit Needs to Increase
The cost of business equipment has risen dramatically over the last decade. Construction machinery, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, technology, and software are more expensive than ever — yet many businesses still face a hard cap on how much they can deduct in a single year.
The current Section 179 deduction limit:
- Restricts how much businesses can immediately deduct
- Forces long depreciation schedules on essential equipment
- Reduces cash flow during critical growth periods
Raising the Section 179 deduction limit would better reflect modern business realities and encourage investment across the U.S. economy.
What This Petition Is Asking Congress to Do
We are calling on lawmakers to:
- Increase the Section 179 deduction limit
- Raise the phase-out threshold
- Index future limits to inflation
These changes would allow more businesses to fully expense qualifying purchases and reinvest in growth without unnecessary delays.
How Increasing the Section 179 Deduction Helps Businesses
A higher Section 179 deduction limit would:
- Improve cash flow for small and mid-sized businesses
- Encourage faster investment in equipment and technology
- Support job creation and workforce expansion
- Strengthen U.S. manufacturing, construction, and service industries
- Reduce the financial burden of inflation on capital purchases
When businesses invest sooner, productivity increases and local economies grow stronger.
Who Should Sign This Section 179 Petition
This petition is for anyone impacted by equipment and technology purchases, including:
- Small business owners
- Contractors and construction companies
- Trucking and transportation businesses
- Manufacturers and distributors
- Technology-driven companies
- Accountants, CPAs, and tax professionals

If your business relies on equipment, vehicles, machinery, or software, the Section 179 deduction limit directly affects you.
