Is your office chair a viable tax deduction?

Today, we're excited to explore a topic that may be good news to those looking to invest in a quality ergonomic chair: your purchase can be a tax-deductible expense. These tax benefits make your Anthros chair purchase even more appealing. In this blog post, we'll delve into the tax benefits of owning an Anthros chair and how you can make the most of them.

Home Office Deduction: A Comfortable Workspace, A Tax Break

If you use your Anthros chair in a home office exclusively for business purposes, and you’re a business owner, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You may qualify for the coveted home office deduction. This deduction allows you to subtract a portion of the cost of your Anthros chair, from your taxable income. This deduction acknowledges the importance of a comfortable workspace and incentivizes you to invest in your comfort and/or that of employees.

Section 179 Deduction: The Whole Chair, All at Once

Under Section 179 of the tax code, small businesses have a remarkable opportunity. You can deduct the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment and furniture in the year it's purchased - up to a specified limit. This means you could potentially deduct the ENTIRE COST of your Anthros chair! Owning an Anthros chair means immediate financial relief, all while enjoying sitting comfortably.

Depreciation: Spreading the Benefits Over Time

Perhaps your Anthros chair doesn't meet the criteria for Section 179, or you prefer to spread out the tax deduction over several years. You have the option to depreciate the cost of your Anthros chair over time. Typically, office furniture can be depreciated over seven years. This means you can gradually deduct a portion of the chair's cost each year. So, you do have options. You can opt for an immediate deduction or stretch out your tax benefits.
