Bonus depreciation has been reduced to 80%

Lawrence Porter

  • Yes, there has been a change in the tax law regarding the bonus depreciation percentage.
  • Previously, the bonus depreciation percentage was 100%, allowing businesses to deduct 100% of the cost of qualified assets placed in service that year.
  • The reduction to 80% means that now businesses can only deduct 80% of the cost of qualified assets in the first year.
  • This reduction in the bonus depreciation percentage will mean businesses will get a smaller tax deduction in the first year for new assets and it will be cut 20% each year thereafter until it hits zero.

In summary, the reduction in bonus depreciation percentage to 80% means businesses will now get a smaller tax break on new asset costs compared to before, spreading deductions over more years.

The upside is you will have larger right offs in later years, since that remaining 20% doesn't just go away and never being able to be written off, it just pushed into "year 2" or later.

Yes, double check, it was lowered to 80% and will be lowered 20% each year until it hits zero in 2027 I believe. But there are all kinds of other tax incentives immediately available to business owners with the quick 60-second survey such as: 

*Work Comp Insurance Audit client (can keep current provider)
*R&D Study
*Property Owner Tax Incentives
*Property Taxes Reduction For Commercial Property Owners
*Waste & Recycling
*Cost Segregation
*Parcel Shipping
*Credit Card Audit (client can keep current provider)
*Payroll Tax Incentives
*Commercial Funding
*Stryde Retirement Program (SRP)
*Strategic Partnership
**Hiring & Retaining Employees ($1200 - $26,000 per employee) thru WOTC & ERC for W2 employees
