Hi, does anyone know if the 25k cap is still applicable for section 179.

I believe the Max is 500K and this amount is reduced if total purchases exceed 2M for the year 2015. Is this correct?

The explanation below is from one of Becker’s Simulations: *I don’t understand it because the equipment cost is $35,000 and the Taxable Income is $94,000. Deduction is limited to Income but in this case the income is higher than the cost of equipment and it is not over the MAX amount so why only 25K is allowed?

5. $25,000

The equipment will qualify for the Section 179 deduction. Limitations exist when there is a loss or when qualified purchases exceed $2,000,000 during the year. There is also a maximum cap of $500,000 on the Section 179 deduction. It is the maximum cap that is the limitation here.

Can someone send a link to an authoritative source identifying that we are to use 25K for the exam for Q2 2016? I am finding conflicting information online and my friend is convinced 25K is wrong but I have no proof on the AICPA site to show her.
