Deduct 100% of Qualifying Clinic Equipment on Your 2026 Taxes

The IRS tax code that lets businesses deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment — not spread over years, but all in year one.
Deduct 100% in Year One
Write off the entire cost of qualifying equipment on your 2026 return. No depreciation schedule, no multi-year wait.
Must Be In Service by Dec 31
Equipment must be purchased AND installed/operational before year-end to qualify for 2026. Order by Dec 15 to allow for shipping and setup.
For Businesses, Not Individuals
Clinics, PT & rehab practices, chiropractic offices, university athletic programs, and professional sports teams all qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my practice qualify for Section 179?
Most for-profit clinics, PT practices, chiropractic offices, and university athletic departments do. Non-profits typically do not. Your tax advisor is the definitive source for your specific situation.
What’s the deduction limit for 2026?
The IRS adjusts Section 179 limits annually for inflation. For 2026, the deduction cap is in the range of $1.3 million of equipment, with a phase-out threshold around $3.2 million in total qualifying purchases. Confirm current figures with your tax advisor or at IRS.gov.
What does “placed in service” mean?
The equipment must be delivered, installed, and ready for its intended use before December 31. Simply ordering or paying is not enough — it has to be operational.
Can I use Section 179 with financing?
Yes. You can finance the equipment and still deduct the full purchase price in 2026, as long as it’s in service by year-end. Your monthly payments are a separate matter.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. We regularly work with clinic purchasing departments, hospital procurement, universities, and professional teams. Submit your PO through our quote request form or call 801-770-3328.
What’s the realistic cutoff date?
December 15, 2026 for most in-stock items (ultrasound, e-stim, cold compression). For Whitehall whirlpools, hubbard tanks, and other built-to-order equipment, contact us as soon as possible — lead times may already preclude 2026 installation.
