There could be another credit or deduction that is affecting your tax. I suggest you look at your form 1040 before and after the section 179 deduction and see what is changing. I assume the tax on line 16 will decrease when you add the section 179 deduction, as your income will decrease. So, you need to pay special attention to the numbers below that to see what is changing.
