Episode notes
100% Bonus Depreciation Is Permanent
- The One Big Beautiful Bill made 100% bonus depreciation permanent for assets placed in service after Jan 20, 2025.
- This change can produce six-figure tax savings on cost-segregated commercial properties.
Run Cost Segregation On Practice Buildings
- Do a cost segregation study to reclassify building costs into 5-, 15-, and 39-year buckets for accelerated depreciation.
- Use bonus depreciation to expense qualifying components immediately once placed in service.
Watch For Depreciation Recapture On Sale
- Accelerated depreciation can trigger depreciation recapture when you sell the property, possibly creating taxable income.
- Proper allocation and timing reduce recapture risk and require case-by-case planning.
