Find out more below on the prior law, current law and some associated planning tips:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Bonus Depreciation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Congress has increased bonus depreciation from 50 percent to 100 percent for property placed in service after Sept. 27, 2017. Generally, bonus depreciation applies to personal property, such as furniture and equipment, and now, used property also qualifies for the deduction.<\/p>\n<p>Your clients can only elect out of bonus depreciation on an asset class basis and must attach an election statement to do so. Bonus depreciation will not begin phasing down until 2023 under the following schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100 percent for property placed in service after Sept. 27, 2017, and before Jan. 1, 2023<\/li>\n<li>80 percent for property placed in service during calendar year 2023<\/li>\n<li>60 percent for property placed in service during calendar year 2024<\/li>\n<li>40 percent for property placed in service during calendar year 2025<\/li>\n<li>20 percent for property placed in service during calendar year 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be careful claiming bonus depreciation when your clients cannot fully utilize the deduction or benefits in the current year because their company is in a loss situation. Net operating losses need to be carried forward, and the self-employment tax doesn\u2019t allow for loss carryovers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, bonus depreciation may reduce your clients&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/a-key-provision-of-the-tax-reform-act-new-20-deduction-for-small-business-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_tpc-taxref20percdeduct\">20 percent qualified business income deduction<\/a> but could also take you below the phase-out threshold (and thereby allow for a greater deduction), so plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Sec. 179 Expensing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Congress has doubled the Sec. 179 limit from $500,000 in prior years to $1 million in 2018 and beyond for qualified property. The annual phase-down threshold based on investment has increased from $2 million to $2.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Sec. 179 deduction allows for more flexibility than bonus depreciation because taxpayers are able to pick and choose the assets and amounts versus an all-or-nothing approach required of bonus depreciation (per asset class). But remember, the 179 deduction is limited to business income and is recaptured if the business use percentage drops below 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Under the current law, qualified real property eligible for Sec. 179 has been expanded to include personal property used predominantly to furnish lodging. Examples include beds, furniture, refrigerators, ranges, roofs, HVAC property, fire protection, alarm systems and security systems. To qualify, these items must be placed in service after the date nonresidential real property was placed in service.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important for the small business owner to consider purchasing assets and taking advantage of the first-year deductibility, which thereby reduces their taxable income. Other considerations: can they afford to buy the asset, is there enough cash flow in the business\u00a0and should they finance the asset?<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Luxury Auto Limits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another big gift in the area of deprecation is the automobile depreciation limits, which have almost been tripled under the new law. As a reminder, the word \u201cluxury\u201d applies to almost all four-wheeled vehicles that drive on public roads and weigh less than 6,000 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the auto limits beginning in 2018 under the new law. Remember to add $8,000 to the first-year amounts when bonus depreciation is taken.<\/p>\n<p>Any depreciation that is not allowed because of these annual limitations is allowed once the vehicle reaches the end of the depreciation schedule but is still subject to certain limits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$10,000 year one (was $3,160 under prior law)<\/li>\n<li>$16,000 year two (was $5,100 under prior law)<\/li>\n<li>$9,600 year three (was $3,050 under prior law)<\/li>\n<li>$5760 years four through six (was $1,875 under prior law)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The small business owner should also consider whether to buy or lease the automobile.\u00a0Leased vehicles are not depreciated, but instead they deduct the lease payment itself. When the value of the leased vehicle is above a certain amount, they need to subtract an \u201cincome inclusion\u201d amount, which is intended to equalize the tax benefits from leasing and owning business vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tax professionals need to connect with their small business clients and analyze whether they should invest in capital assets and take advantage of some generous tax breaks. Consider sending out these important tax reform changes to your clients and\/or meeting with them one on one to explain the changes and associated pros and cons from both a business and tax savings standpoint. You are their trusted advisor, and the tax savings can be substantial, so make sure they don\u2019t miss out on any opportunities!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note<\/strong>: This article was originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accountingweb.com\/tax\/business-tax\/3-key-depreciation-perks-clients-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_acctWeb-depreciation\" target=\"_blank\"><em>AccountingWEB<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how the changes to depreciation under tax reform may affect your small business clients. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107082828,"featured_media":8803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rkv_browse_by_id":0,"rkv_cta_id":0,"rkv_optimize_for_pagespeed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"useModifiedDate":false,"customPublishDate":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[509474089],"tags":[10585,582953261],"intuit_collection":[],"intuit_series":[],"coauthors":[509474105],"class_list":["post-13646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tax-law-and-news","tag-small-business","tag-tax-reform"],"header_image":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
