so belissa
[6]
want to get you to answer some questions
[8]
to inform our audience about bonus
[11]
depreciation tax cuts and Jobs Act of
[14]
late 2017 gave us bonus depreciation at
[20]
a hundred percent so tell us where we
[23]
are Melissa for 2019 for 2019 a taxpayer
[27]
can deduct up to a hundred percent of
[29]
qualifying purchases okay for how long
[32]
is that 100 percent bonus depreciation
[34]
and effect and what is scheduled to
[37]
happen when one hundred percent no
[41]
longer exists taxpayers actually have
[43]
until 12 31 2022 to claim a hundred
[46]
percent bonus depreciation for each year
[49]
after that there's a phase down of 20%
[52]
per year until it is completely
[54]
eliminated in 2012 31 2026 is it
[58]
possible the changes could be made to
[59]
this schedule of course anything is
[61]
possible it would take a change in the
[66]
current tax law though for that to
[68]
happen what property purchases qualify
[71]
for bonus depreciation and what is new
[74]
about qualification depreciable business
[78]
assets with a cost recovery of twenty
[80]
years or less qualify for bonus
[82]
depreciation not only did the tax cuts
[85]
and job act increase bonus depreciation
[87]
deduction from 50 percent to 100 percent
[90]
they actually expanded the qualifying
[93]
property definition to include use
[96]
property prior to that you could only
[99]
deduct take the deduction on new
[101]
property so this this is a greatly
[103]
expanded the definition and the
[105]
availability of the deduction to
[107]
taxpayers another thing to know is
[109]
vehicles would also qualify but vehicles
[113]
they that are subject to the auto luxury
[115]
limits those may not get the full
[118]
benefit of the hundred percent but
[120]
eventually will be depreciated over the
[122]
course of their period under the auto
[125]
luxury limit rules what are some
[128]
purchases that would qualify but
[130]
specific rules disqualify them
[133]
some purchases that would qualify if
[136]
you're purchasing equipment let's say
[139]
from a related party related party
[141]
purchases don't qualify for bonus
[143]
depreciation also if you previously
[146]
owned the property you can't take the
[150]
bonus depreciation on previously owned
[152]
property and any asset that you received
[155]
from a gift or inheritance bonus
[158]
depreciation isn't available and then
[160]
just another note because we do see this
[162]
in practice foreign assets are used
[164]
predominantly outside of the US do not
[166]
qualify for bonus depreciation for
[169]
property acquired late in the year what
[172]
do businesses need to know about what's
[175]
required to qualify them for bonus
[177]
depreciation whether or not an asset is
[180]
acquired late in the year really doesn't
[182]
matter it matters when you place the
[185]
asset and service if you have that asset
[187]
ready and available to use and place it
[191]
in service in your trade or business you
[192]
would be able to claim that depreciation
[194]
on that even if you bought it on 1231
[197]
what if property that otherwise would
[200]
qualify that hasn't been paid for
[203]
how does bonus depreciation work in that
[205]
case asset acquisitions financed by a
[208]
loan or vendor payable would be would be
[211]
qualified for bonus depreciation as soon
[214]
as the title transfers to the buyer and
[216]
the property is placed in service by the
[219]
buyer of that asset and that's the same
[221]
for a cash basis or accrual-based basis
[224]
taxpayer the tax cuts and Jobs Act
[227]
eliminated like-kind exchange treatment
[230]
so called 1031 exchanges for non real
[234]
estate assets what are the implications
[236]
of that in relation to bonus
[239]
depreciation like an exchange has
[241]
allowed the taxpayer to defer any gain
[245]
on an asset that was traded in and now
[247]
that that's illuminated a taxpayer may
[249]
have a gain to recognize due to having
[253]
to recognize a fair market value of that
[255]
of that equipment that was traded in but
[259]
on the flip side the acquisition cost of
[262]
the property is going to include not
[264]
only your cash that you pay but also
[267]
the trade-in value that you're
[268]
recognizing an income and if you can
[270]
take bonus depreciation on the asset
[272]
you're acquiring you'd be able to
[274]
completely eliminate that game via bonus
[277]
depreciation by deducting that by
[281]
deducting that new asset that you just
[282]
acquired what about property constructed
[285]
by or for the taxpayer
[289]
how is bonus depreciation handled in
[291]
those situations really comes down to
[294]
the same thing that we've discussed is
[296]
the placing service when is it ret
[297]
available and ready to be used in place
[300]
and service in the business that's when
[302]
you can claim bonus depreciation and
[304]
what is Kentucky's treatment of bonus
[306]
depreciation
[307]
unfortunately Kentucky has decoupled
[309]
from bonus depreciation so you can't
[312]
claim bonus for Kentucky you would just
[315]
appreciate any assets for Kentucky
[317]
purposes over the makers cost recovery
[320]
system
