If you buy furniture for a business, you can use expensing options to lower your taxable income:
Section 179 Deduction: Allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying furniture (like desks, chairs, and workstations) placed in service during the 2026 tax year, up to a spending limit of $2,560,000.
Bonus Depreciation: 100% bonus depreciation is available for 2026, letting businesses write off the total cost of eligible furniture even if total equipment purchases go over standard caps.
Rules for Claiming
Furniture must be used primarily and exclusively for business purposes. Standard home furniture used in a personal living space or general household use does not qualify. Keep accurate purchase records and receipts, and file IRS Form 4562 if claiming.
This is a basic overview. Please verify all information with your accountant.
