HR 9761 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow an increased dollar limitation for section 179 property placed in service in the trade or business of farming.

This bill increases the Section 179 deduction limit for farming equipment from $1.14 million to $1.5 million. It directly affects farmers who purchase qualifying equipment for their agricultural operations, allowing them to deduct a larger portion of the cost upfront. The new $1.5 million minimum applies to property placed in service after December 31, 2024, with future increases tied to inflation after 2025. This change simplifies tax treatment for farming businesses by creating a separate, higher deduction threshold specifically for agricultural equipment.
