Planning to Buy Equipment in 2026? Read This Before You Spend a Dollar

If you’re planning to purchase equipment in early 2026, now is the time to pause and plan strategically. The timing of your purchase can significantly impact your tax bill — and many business owners miss out on major savings simply by waiting too long.

At Freedom From Accounting, we help business owners make informed financial decisions that protect cash flow and reduce unnecessary tax exposure.

Why Timing Matters More Than You Think

Current tax rules allow many businesses to take advantage of 100% bonus depreciation, which means qualifying equipment can potentially be fully deducted in the year it’s placed into service.

That means:

• Equipment purchased and operational before December 31, 2025 may qualify for full deduction
• Waiting until January 2026 could delay those tax benefits by an entire year

For example:

• A $100,000 equipment purchase could create $24,000–$37,000 in tax savings
• A $200,000 investment could result in $48,000–$74,000 staying in your business

That’s real money that could be reinvested into growth, hiring, or operations.

When Accelerating a Purchase Makes Sense

Accelerating a purchase can be a smart move — but only when it aligns with your business strategy.

It typically makes sense when:

• Your business had a strong profit year
• The equipment is already needed for operations
• You have sufficient cash flow
• You’re making the decision strategically — not emotionally

Buying equipment just for a tax write-off often backfires. Spending $1 to save $0.30 isn’t smart planning — it’s unnecessary risk.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

Many business owners wait until tax season to think about deductions. Unfortunately, by then, most opportunities are already gone.

That’s why proactive tax planning is so important.

At Freedom From Accounting, we specialize in:

• Small business bookkeeping services
• Tax planning for business owners
• Helping clients prepare before year-end — not scramble after

We help you understand what moves make sense before deadlines hit.
