As the end of the year approaches, many business owners are looking for smart ways to manage their tax burdens while investing in their company’s future. For professionals in the sign, graphics and garment industries, Grimco’s wide range of equipment solutions offers the perfect opportunity to benefit from Section 179 and bonus depreciation tax savings while upgrading your business capabilities. From grand format printers to screen printing equipment and everything in between, we’re here to help you maximize your return on investment (ROI).
Why Section 179 Matters
Section 179 of the U.S. tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software purchased or financed during the tax year. This means you can lower your taxable income significantly by investing in the tools your business needs. Here are some key benefits:
1. Generous Monetary Limits with Section 179
For tax year 2026, the Section 179 deduction limit is $2,560,000, and the deduction begins to phase out once your total qualifying purchases exceed $4,090,000. The deduction is fully phased out at $6,650,000. This means most of the equipment you buy from Grimco, whether it’s an HP Latex printer, an Epson SureColor printer, or a ROQ YOU screen print machine, and every accessory piece of equipment in between, will likely qualify for full deduction. Investing in larger, high-cost equipment becomes more manageable when you can deduct the full cost in the year of purchase.
2. Bonus Depreciation Adds Even More Savings
If your equipment purchases exceed the Section 179 limits, or your taxable income can’t absorb the full deduction, bonus depreciation can help. Under current federal tax law, 100% bonus depreciation is available for qualifying property acquired after January 19, 2025. Unlike Section 179, bonus depreciation has no dollar cap and no taxable income limit, so it can allow you to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the first year. This is especially useful for customers purchasing entire workflows, including printers, heat presses, laminators, routers, and other accessory equipment.
3. Save Real Money on Your Bottom Line
By leveraging these tax incentives, you can effectively reduce the cost of your equipment investment. For example, an $80,000+ flatbed printer could be fully deducted in the year you put it into service, which can significantly lower your taxable income. This means more cash in your pocket to reinvest in your business, hire staff, or expand your operations.
