If you’re a small business owner in California, you may be able to save money on taxes due to a portion of the U.S. Tax Code called Section 179 (26 U.S. Code § 179, election to expense certain depreciable business assets). As our Sacramento small business accountants will explain in this article, Section 179 allows eligible taxpayers to deduct in full certain business expenses, or “qualifying property,” in a single tax year, rather than spreading a depreciation deduction out over the life of the property. This practice, which is known as “Section 179 expensing” or “first-year expensing,” gives small to medium-sized businesses a valuable opportunity to recover certain financial losses. With tax season in gear, now is the perfect time for California business owners to learn more about this beneficial tax strategy – especially because the recently-passed tax reforms, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), significantly increases expensing limits under Section 179 in 2018 😎 [1]
Other tax incentive offered by the Act is increased bonus depreciation. The prior law provided for a 50% bonus depreciation on property that was placed into service after September 27, 2017. The new law provides 100 percent bonus deduction for property that is placed into service after September 27, 2017. This was in addition to the 50 percent bonus for property put into service before 2023. If a taxpayer acquires property by purchasing it, the bonus depreciation is 100 percent. For property that has a longer recovery period than 20 years, bonus depreciation will not be available. QIP in service prior to December 31, 2017 is still covered by the 15-Year MACRS term. qualify for bonus depreciation. [2]
Corporation: Connecticut is not following the federal bonus depreciation treatment. Connecticut, however, has adopted legislation that decouples from I.R.C. § 168(k). The federal bonus depreciation deduction must be added to Connecticut’s net income. However, 25% of any amount that was taken back in the previous year can be subtracted for each of the subsequent years. Connecticut has separated from I.R.C. § 168(k), and therefore does not conform to the amendments to I.R.C. § 168(k) made by the 2017 tax act. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-217(b)(1), as amended by 2018 Conn.
