Bonus depreciation allows businesses to offset the costs of investing in equipment and other qualified assets more quickly. Claiming bonus depreciation on your 2017 tax return may be particularly beneficial. Why? Deductions save more tax when rates are higher, and most businesses’ tax rates will go down in 2018 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. How much can you save? The break allows additional first-year depreciation of 50% or 100% for 2017, depending on when the asset was acquired and placed in service. Contact us for details.
