Section 179 of the IRS tax code lets eligible businesses deduct the purchase price of qualifying equipment, including certain new Ford vehicles, that is placed into service during the tax year.

- 2026 Bonus Depreciation: 100%1 -- 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 and applied to new and used.
To qualify, the vehicle must be purchased and put into use before Dec. 31, 2026,1 must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time and must be titled in the company's name (not the company's owner's name).
