Overview
This is an opportunity to purchase a BoxHouse and reduce your taxable income by $375,000 with an income-producing asset.
Due to its unique designation, BoxHouse qualifies for a one-year, 100% deduction as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, section 179. For tax years beginning in 2024, the maximum expense deduction is $1,220,000. (Larger amounts can be deducted under IRC 168k)
About the BoxHouse
Measuring 19 feet by 20 feet, or approximately 380 square feet, the BoxHouse is designed to provide privacy and comfort by including a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, dining & living area.
Constructed with a steel frame and walls, the BoxHouse is designed to endure significantly longer than conventional stick-built houses due to its reduced susceptibility to severe weather conditions, mold, rot, etc.
The BoxHouse is unique as it is movable and doesnāt require an expensive foundation. They simply sit on 12 adjustable feet on either concrete blocks or helical piers (ground screws).

Let’s Take a Deeper Dive Into IRS Section 168(k) & 179
Section 179
In 2024, Section 179 allows businesses to write off 100% of the cost of qualifying assets in the year they are placed into service up to $1,220,000. While real estate does not qualify, IRS rulings have determined that movable structures, such as portable homes delivered on wheels and used to produce income, are considered personal property and not real estate. This classification makes BoxHouses eligible for Section 179 deductions.
Section 168(k) – Bonus Depreciation:
In 2024, businesses can deduct 68% of the asset’s cost in the first year, with the remaining 32% spread over the following four years. Movable structures like BoxHouse units, which are delivered on wheels and can be transported, are classified as personal property under Section 168(k), making them eligible for this bonus depreciation.
