Bonus depreciation and Sec. 179 expensing of fixed assets

Bonus depreciation and Sec.179 expensing of property have been available in varying amounts for quite a while. The new tax law has increased the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% until 2023, when it will decrease by 20% per year until it reaches zero. Bonus depreciation now applies to both new and used qualified property. The Sec.179 expense limit is now $1 million of allowable expensing with a total purchase threshold of $2.5 million. If you purchase more than $2.5 million in eligible fixed assets during the taxable year, the expense limit allowed will be reduced.

The higher limits and expansion in the definition of property that qualifies for these deductions allow for tax planning opportunities. As part of your planning, we’d like to understand your asset purchasing behavior and plans for the future so we can maximize these deductions for you.
