00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.680
rest because you know, we have to go through and

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.439

26
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.719
that we can talk about them here, you know, with

our listeners and to our clients. And uh, you know,
29
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.040

35
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.680
That number is eight seven seven nine ninety six two
36
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.159
four seven seven. Hey, we're talking to one big, beautiful bill.
37
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:13.319
Nine hundred roughly pages of a bill passed by Congress
38
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:20.360
signed into law by President Trump on July fourth. It
39
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:27.479
stends and expands many provisions of the twenty seventeen Tax
40
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.199
Cuts and Jobs Act TCJA, and it's helped aiming to
41
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.280
spur growth and reduce compliance burdens. Now I'm not sure
42
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.280
about the compliance burdens because it's adding a lot of
43
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:49.039
new twists and turns deductions that have limitations, so you know,
44
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.000
in my opinion, yes, it should help to spur growth
45
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.360
keep more money in people's pockets with some of the
46
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.280
things that's done on the personal side. Today we're going
47
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.680
to talk business and what provisions the one big beautiful
48
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:13.800
bill as for businesses, and the first one is bonus depreciation.
49
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.080
So everybody you know talks about depreciation and what we
50
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.039
can do with depreciation, whether Section one seventy nine or
51
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:28.159
bonus depreciation. What this bill does is full expensing has
52
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.680
become a permanent feature of this tax code. Specifically, Section
53
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.000
one sixty eight K one A has been amended to
54
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.280
replace the previously phased down percentage with a flat one
55
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.879
hundred percent, thereby putting in place permanently the ability to
56
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:54.280
fully expense qualified property. It's permanent until they come in
57
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.759
and change the code. Again. You have to like that
58
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.360
because you know, you never know what you're going to
59
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.199
get when you get these things. And it says it's permanent,
60
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.840
but again, if Congress passes a new law and changes
61
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.039
the law, it's not permanent. It's not like it needs
62
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.720
a constitutional amendment. It just needs Congress to come in
63
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.680
and pass a law that changes you know what they've
64
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.959
done is they've gone in and replaced the old rule,
65
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.079
put the new rule in to make sure that you
66
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:34.759
have this permanent expensing. Under the current law, Section one
67
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.519
sixty eight K of the Internal Revenue Code provided for
68
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.319
bonus appreciation allow taxpayers to immediately expense abortion of the
69
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.720
cost of qualifying profit property in the year's plash and service. However,
70
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.680
that percentage was scheduled to phase down after twenty twenty two,
71
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.519
from one hundred percent to eighty percent to sixty percent
72
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.120
to forty percent to twenty percent before fully sunsetting in
73
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.000
twenty twenty six. So this is amended that, and we've
74
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.519
got now the one hundred percent bonus depreciation. Now, nothing
75
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.480
in the legislature permits taxpayers to amend twenty three or
76
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.240
twenty four to revise bonus pre depreciation previously allowed at
77
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:22.240
eighty and sixty percent. Additionally, that one hundred percent bonus
78
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.319
appreciation that you get to expense under the new provision
79
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.079
does not apply to property placed in service or acquired
80
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:37.480
prior to the enactment date January nineteenth, twenty twenty five.
81
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:43.360
Property acquired before that date remains subject to the TCJA
82
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.240
phase down rules. Talk about complications. But when did you
83
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.279
buy the property that you're fixing to put in and
84
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.680
want to get depreciated? Now does it mean by or
85
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.279
does it mean placed in service. We've still got to
86
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:01.199
get some interpretations from the IRS to me make sure, hey,
87
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.680
which date is the applicable date because it's a lot
88
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.519
of times you if you're looking at buying a piece
89
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.240
of equipment at the end of the year, you may
90
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.079
have bought it in December, but you didn't place it
91
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.480
in service until the end of January when you actually
92
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:22.519
received that contract, that equipment and that property. So you
93
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.160
got to take a look at this and you've got
94
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.120
to interpret the laws. Now, got to understand they said
95
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.000
this was going to make the law less complicated, right wrong.
96
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.360
Got to be looking at those dates. So make sure
97
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.079
you got that effective date. New property acquired after January nineteenth,
98
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.519
twenty twenty five, So you need to make sure you're
99
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:52.480
looking at your dates. There's a special provision for special
100
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:57.759
depreciation allowance for qualified production property. A new provision under
101
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.199
Section one sixty eight allows one hundred percent bonus depreciation
102
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.920
for certain qualified non residential real property used in qualified
103
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:14.959
specific production related activities. See complications in this bill as
104
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.399
they go, So traditional one point sixty eight K bonus
105
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.920
depreciation applies mainly to personal property. This effective rule expands
106
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:29.240
full expensing to specific real estate investments that support manufacturing
107
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:35.000
and refining. I just remember land is not a depreciable asset.
108
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.680
The building on the land is. So when you're going
109
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.600
through and calculating and depreciation, you need to and especially
110
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.439
on a building and land, you need to know what
111
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.279
the value of the land is in the purchase so
112
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.480
that you can get your depreciation correct. So there's a
113
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.399
lot of important things in this when you're looking at depreciation,
114
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.160
and you've got to remember some key requirements. To qualify,
115
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:07.800
the real property must be non residential real property used
116
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.439
as an integral part of your qualified production activity. Be
117
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.079
placed in service in the US or a US possession.
118
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.360
See they're promoting growth here in the US. Have original
119
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.160
use beginning with the taxpayer. So it's got to be new,
120
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.879
be constructed between January twenty and twenty twenty five and
121
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.480
December thirty one, twenty twenty eight, be placed in service
122
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:36.039
by December thirty one, twenty thirty be designated as qualified
123
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:40.120
production property through election on the tax return. So you've
124
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:46.960
got to make this election fun fun fun. Nobody ever
125
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.240
said that Congress isn't full of a bunch of people
126
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.399
with hot air. You can do that when you read
127
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.440
this bill and knowing that there's how many pages in it,
128
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.320
you know there's a lot of carve ads and a
129
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.879
lot of crazy things that they do in this bill.
130
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.080
As a matter of fact, when you're reading this bill,
131
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.120
there are certain sections that you read and you interpret
132
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.000
based on what you're reading there. And I'll give you
133
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:15.240
the example, no tax on cash tips. But then later
134
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.480
on they clarify what cash tips are and it's not
135
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.720
just cash, it's basically any tips that do come in.
136
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.799
So there was some other interpretations you've got to put
137
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:34.639
into into this bill. When you are looking at this bill,
138
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.600
so you're going to want to talk to your tax
139
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:44.120
preparer and make sure that you can actually expense everything
140
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.120
here based on the qualified property. Make sure you're taking
141
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.399
the right amount of deduction, you're not taking too much deduction,
142
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.240
and make sure that the way it's going to be
143
00:09:55.320 --> 00:10:02.039
done actually benefits you or business, because sometimes you're using
144
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:07.080
too much depreciation and you're really only offsetting smaller amounts
145
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.080
of income and you don't need to do the full
146
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.639
bonus depreciation on the piece of equipment that you have,
147
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.799
because you're already into a much lower rate and using
148
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.679
that depreciation. Bonus depreciation at a low rate doesn't save
149
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.240
you as much money as possibly depreciating it over the
150
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.360
life of the of the asset. Asset useful life of
151
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.279
the asset, and you'll get better use of your depreciation
152
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.639
to down. We're going to talk about Section one seventy
153
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.360
nine depreciation right after this quick break.
154
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.240
We have only scratched the surface of today's show. Please

term before you know. It allows you to expense the
171
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.240
asset that you bought if it doesn't fit under bonus
172
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.480
appreciation or maybe you just need to use a portion
173
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:17.440
of it. Section sevent nine has increased, so the increased
174
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:22.840
limits provides greater flexibility the larger first year deduction for
175
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.759
business investing in capital assets. So what they've done is
176
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.559
a mended Section one seventy nine B one to increase
177
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.840
the maximum deduction from one million to two point five billion. Simultaneously,
178
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.519
Section one seventy nine B two increase the phase out
179
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.039
threshold from two point five million to four million. These
180
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.759
adjustments are drastically dramatically raising the ceiling at which small
181
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.639
and mid sized businesses can fully expense the quality cost
182
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.600
of your qualified property property. Now, once you get above
183
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:05.840
these limits, your deduction is reduced dollar far dollar by
184
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.279
dollar for the amount of qualifying property placed in service
185
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.720
that exceeds the four million threshold. Once the total cost
186
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.480
of eligible property placed in services ex seeds six point
187
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.639
five million, the entire Section one seventy nine is phased out,
188
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.840
so you still got the complications out there. They're going
189
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.519
to also add in new inflation adjustment rules for Section
190
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.679
one seventy nine, so they've changed that so it'll be
191
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.320
indexed for inflation future as well. So these are not
192
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:41.919
going to be static numbers. They're assuming more midside sized
193
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.200
businesses are going to qualify for expensing under Section one
194
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:51.639
seventy nine, and then you need to monitor inflation adjustments
195
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.759
every year just to make sure that you know they're
196
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.960
qualifying how much you can actually expense. That's something interesting.
197
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.279
We talk to businesses, and a lot of our businesses
198
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.559
we talk to our LLC's multi member or even single
199
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.960
member so reporting as a sole proprietorship or they are escorts,
200
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:17.240
and you do business charitable contributions, and your business charitable
201
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:22.600
contributions pass through to your personal return and if you
202
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:27.279
are itemizing, you get to take it on schedule A. Now,
203
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:31.759
if you are a c court, you're reporting on eleven twenty.
204
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.000
This bill is going to introduce the significant change to
205
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:40.080
the rules governing corporate charitable deductions by putting in a
206
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:46.279
one percent floor for deducting charitable contributions. So they amended
207
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.840
Section one seventy B two A as if everybody really
208
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.519
wants to go through and read the IRS Code. But
209
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.440
if you do, it's section one seventy B to a corporates.
210
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:06.320
Corporates deduction for charitable contributions is in a taxable year
211
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.759
will only be allowed to the extent that the contribution
212
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.039
exceeds the one percent of the corporate's taxable income, and
213
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.919
it also remains capped at ten percent of taxable income
214
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.639
as it is in current law. So this means if
215
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.279
you're running a corporation and you're reporting on eleven twenty,
216
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.240
you're not going to receive any tax benefit for the
217
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:34.320
first one percent of taxable income donated to a charity,
218
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.919
or if you give more than ten percent, you're going
219
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.559
to be limited to the ten percent. Andy Sometimes we
220
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:46.039
tell people, you know, especially when you are in business,
221
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.360
sometimes it's better to use your charitable contributions to do marketing,
222
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.240
you know, pay them to put your banners and stuff up.
223
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.120
Have the marketing section of it, so it is fully
224
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.320
deductible in not having to face the charities. So if
225
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:05.879
you're running an escort, you're running a partnership, you're running
226
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.320
a multi member LLC tax as a partnership or as
227
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:14.840
a single member tax as a sole proprietor. Marketing sometimes
228
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.840
is better deduction for you than the charitable contributions because
229
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.720
you have to get over the standard deduction. If you
230
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.480
don't get over the standard deduction, then it has done
231
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.240
you no good. So if you're contributing from your business,
232
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.399
maybe you want to look at ways of using that
233
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:36.039
charity to provide you with more marketing as opposed to
234
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:41.399
giving charitable contribution. Now, the IRS did put in carry
235
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.559
forward rules. The treatment of disallowed contributions is adjusted to
236
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:50.360
reflect the new floor. Contributions exceeding the ten percent cap
237
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:54.159
can still be carried forward for five years. However, the
238
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:58.120
new caveat only contributions disallowed due to exceeding the ten
239
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.320
percent cap will be eligible for the fully carry forward.
240
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.799
If a contribution is disallowed solo to not exceeding the
241
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:09.359
one percent floor, it can be only carry forward if
242
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:13.400
the ten percent limit was also exceeded in that year. Okay,
243
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.119
and then they have BIFO rules. First in first out
