If you operate a business in Denver or Colorado Springs, the last two months of the year can feel fast and full. You are closing out the books, reviewing budgets, and planning for next year. While you are working through those decisions, here is one reminder that can make a real impact on your 2025 taxes. You may be able to save big on office furniture with section 179.

Section 179 may allow you to write off the full cost of new or used office furniture when it is installed before December 31.

If you are adding workstations, building out a new office, or preparing for 2026 hiring, this is a smart time to act.

What Section 179 Means for Your Colorado Business

Section 179 is a federal tax provision that lets many businesses deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the same year it is put into service. Normally, office furniture must be depreciated slowly over several years. Section 179 makes it possible to deduct the entire cost up front, which often creates a significant tax benefit.

A simple way to think about it is this:

If your business buys qualifying office furniture and you have enough taxable income, you may be able to deduct that cost in the same year once the furniture is installed and ready to use.

This can be especially valuable for companies expanding along the Front Range, including Denver Tech Center, downtown Denver, Centennial, Parker, Castle Rock, Monument, and Colorado Springs.

Current Section 179 Limits

Your CPA should verify the numbers for your specific situation, but here is the general framework for the current tax year.

Maximum Deduction

Up to 2.5 million dollars in qualifying purchases can often be deducted in the current year.

Phase-Out Threshold

The deduction begins to phase out once total qualifying equipment purchases exceed 4 million dollars. These limits cover the needs of most small and mid sized companies in Colorado.

Bonus Depreciation

Your CPA may also apply bonus depreciation to remaining qualifying costs. The percentage and rules vary by tax year, so this is something your tax professional should determine.

Why Workstations and Office Furniture Are Ideal Section 179 Purchases

Office furniture fits cleanly into the types of property that may qualify for Section 179. The IRS routinely lists office furniture as eligible equipment. Examples include:

Workstations and cubicle systems

Standing desks

Task seating and conference seating

Cubicle walls and privacy panels

Conference tables

Filing cabinets and storage pieces

Reception furniture

Benching systems and collaborative layouts

There is also a benefit many business owners in Colorado overlook:

New and Used Furniture Can Qualify

Section 179 allows for used furniture as long as it is new to your business and is not purchased from a related party. This means that high-quality used cubicles or desks from our Denver or Colorado Springs showroom may provide the same tax advantage as brand-new items.

Placed in Service by December 31

This is the part that determines whether the deduction applies this year or next year.

To count for the current tax year, the furniture must be placed in service by December 31. That means delivered, installed, and ready to use. Simply placing an order does not meet the IRS requirement.

For this reason, local installation matters. A Colorado-based provider can deliver and install quickly, which is often essential during November and December.

Your Colorado Year-End Action Plan

Here is a simple checklist to stay on track.

1. Review What You Need

Assess how many workstations your team will need for the upcoming year. Many Denver and Colorado Springs businesses plan for January onboarding, so this is the right time to evaluate space and layout.

2. Call Your CPA

Every business is different. Your taxable income, structure, and total equipment purchases determine how Section 179 applies.

3. Order Locally to Meet the Deadline

A local partner can provide fast delivery and reliable installation. Office Furniture EZ supports businesses along the entire I-25 corridor and understands the importance of the year-end schedule.
