This course will provide tax professionals and businesses guidance on navigating recent IRS rules for qualified improvement property (QIP). The panel will discuss critical challenges for taxpayers in light of Rev. Proc. 2020-25, options and implications of certain IRC Sec. 168(k) elections, filing Form 3115, and electing out of bonus depreciation. The panel will also discuss key state tax issues and the impact of IRC Section 163(j) limitations.

Description

The recent 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act overlooked QIP. Practitioners and business owners presumed this property would be eligible for the shorter 15-year life and 100 percent bonus depreciation. Fortunately, the CARES Act corrected this oversight and made the changes retroactively effective on Jan. 1, 2018. Certain businesses can benefit significantly by amending prior year returns or filing Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method.

Revenue procedure 2020-25 outlines methods to take advantage of this relief. Considerations vary, and these adjustments are time sensitive. Understanding when to utilize this current relief, when and how to elect out of bonus depreciation, when retroactive revocation of prior year bonus elections might be desirable, and how to accurately complete Form 3115 are only a few of many challenges.

Listen as our panel of depreciation experts explains the methods outlined in Revenue Procedure 2020-25, the effect of this relief on cost-segregation studies, 163(j) deductions, and state income tax, as well as the steps to take to implement this welcomed relief.
