With bonus depreciation dropping, is cost segregation worth it?
In his latest piece in Accounting Today, Dave McGuire discusses the effect that reducing bonus depreciation has on cost segregation.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 expanded bonus depreciation to additional assets and allowed for 100% bonus depreciation. While the qualification for bonus eligibility does not change, the amount eligible starts leveraging down in 2023 by 20% per year. This means that bonus depreciation is 80% for 2023, 60% for 2024, and so on until it completely phases out. For cost segregation professionals, this leads to the question, what happens to cost segregation if bonus phases out?
