2026 Section 179 Tax Deduction Overview & Limits

The Section 179 deduction is designed to encourage small- and medium-sized businesses to invest in themselves. Rather than spreading vehicle costs across multiple tax years, qualifying purchases can be deducted in full during the year the asset is put into service. Here's a breakdown of the key limits and rules for the 2026 tax year:

  • 2026 Deduction Limit: $2,560,0001
    • Good on new and used equipment (as long as new to the buyer)
    • Purchased or leased

  • 2026 Spending Cap: $4,090,0001 -- This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis (making it a true small-business incentive)
    • Deduction begins to be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis -- this cap is what makes it a "small business tax incentive"
    • Complete phase-out at $6,650,000

  • 2026 Bonus Depreciation: 100%1
    • Defined as: a tax incentive that allows a business to immediately deduct a large percentage of the purchase price of eligible assets
    • Generally taken after the Spending Cap is reached
    • Applies to new and used

  • Must be purchased and put into use before Dec. 31, 20261
  • Must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time
  • Must be titled in the company's name (not the company's owner's name)

Which Chevy Vehicles Qualify for Section 179?

  • New & Used Vocational Trucks and Vans
    • Full Section 179 deduction available1

  • Heavy SUVs & Trucks (Over 6,000 lbs. GVW) (excludes some pickups/vans)
    • $32,000 maximum Section 1791

  • Cars, Light Trucks & SUVs (Under 6,000 lbs.)
    • Subject to IRS "luxury auto" depreciation limits (Section 280F)1

The new Chevrolet lineup is particularly well suited for Section 179 because so many models are purpose-built for commercial and heavy-duty applications. From full-size pickup trucks and cargo vans to heavy-duty SUVs that exceed the 6,000-pound GVW threshold, there are options for virtually every type of business operation. Eligible Chevy models may include, but are not limited to:

  • Silverado 1500
  • Silverado EV
  • Silverado HD
  • Colorado
  • Express Cargo Van
  • Express Passenger Van
  • Suburban
  • Tahoe
  • Traverse

How Do I Use the Section 179 Tax Incentive?

Claiming the Section 179 deduction is straightforward, but timing and documentation matter. Follow these general steps to take advantage of the Section 179 incentive before the end of the 2026 tax year:

  1. Choose a qualifying vehicle. Browse the new and used Chevy inventory at Dean Carter Chevrolet to find a truck, SUV or van that meets your business needs and qualifies under Section 179 guidelines.
  2. Purchase or lease before Dec. 31, 2026. The vehicle must be bought and placed into service within the calendar year to qualify for that year's deduction.
  3. Ensure business use exceeds 50%. The IRS requires the vehicle to be used for business purposes more than half the time. Keep accurate mileage and usage records from day one.
  4. Title the vehicle in your company's name. The asset must be owned by the business entity -- not the individual owner -- to be eligible.
  5. File IRS Form 4562 with your tax return. Work with your accountant or tax professional to complete the Depreciation and Amortization form and claim your deduction.
