This webinar will take a fresh look at the tangible property regulations (TPR), including the related safe harbors, partial dispositions, recommended expensing policies, and recent legislative changes to the initial rules. Our panel will provide case studies of common scenarios to provide insights on maximizing deductions related to property purchases and maintenance.

Description

The tangible property regulations have been effective since 2014 and affect every business type and rental property. Businesses and their tax advisers have always contemplated whether asset related purchases could be expensed or whether they should be capitalized and whether maintenance and renovation costs could be expensed or must be capitalized.

Making these determinations is complex. Taxpayers must capitalize purchases that meet the definition of a betterment, restoration, or adaptation. At the same time, the de minimis, routine maintenance, and small business safe harbors can provide valuable tax savings for eligible businesses.

Recent changes to the original tangible property regulations (TPR) bring new considerations and opportunities for businesses. 100 percent bonus depreciation is available through 2022, qualified improvement property (QIP) is now eligible for bonus depreciation, and the Section 179 expensing limit has increased to $1.08 million in 2022. Tax practitioners and companies must understand how to maximize depreciation and expense deductions for fixed asset purchases.

Listen as our panel of cost recovery experts explains the TPR, including reviewing depreciation deductions and property dispositions to maximize deductions for businesses.
