Calculating Section 179 Deduction on Dental Imaging Equipment for 2024

It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of year again to start thinking about how to reduce your practice’s tax liability for 2024.

Section 179 of the IRS tax code, designed to encourage small businesses, including many private practices, to invest in their practice and allow them to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software that has been purchased or financed during the tax year from their total gross income.
