𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗫𝗣𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 You qualify as a small business taxpayer if you (a) have average annual gross receipts of $26 million or less for the 3 prior tax years and (b) are not a tax shelter (as defined in section 448(d)(3)). If your business has not been in existence for all of the 3 tax-year period used in figuring average gross receipts, base your average on the period it has existed, and if your business has a predecessor entity, include the gross receipts of the predecessor entity from the 3 tax-year period when figuring average gross receipts. If your business (or predecessor entity) had short taxable years for any of the 3 tax-year period, annualize your business' gross receipts for the short tax years that are part of the 3 tax-year period.

The CARES Act retroactively changed the recovery period for QIP to 15 years thus making it eligible for bonus depreciation through 2026 (100% through 2022). All industries that have constructed QIP can take advantage of this favorable change, but companies within the retail, restaurant and hospitality industries with significant new assets in particular should act quickly. In the immediate term, we suggest reviewing documentation related to improvements to existing commercial buildings in 2018 and 2019 to identify assets that are QIP. Cost segregation studies are essential tools in identifying eligible costs. Taxpayers who constructed QIP in 2019 and who have not filed their 2019 federal income tax returns yet can treat such assets as bonus-eligible 15-year property in their 2019 federal return. The revised initial filing deadline of July 15, 2020 Taxpayers who have filed their 2019 federal income tax returns treating QIP constructed in 2019 as bonus-ineligible 39-year property and filed for extension may file a superseding 2019 return prior to the due date (including extensions) and claim bonus depreciation. Taxpayers who constructed QIP in 2018 and who have filed their 2018 federal income tax return treating the assets as bonus-ineligible 39-year property should consider amending those returns to treat such assets as bonus-eligible. For C corporations, in particular, claiming the bonus depreciation on an amended return can potentially generate net operating losses (NOLs) that can be carried back five years under the new NOL provisions of the CARES Act to tax years before 2018, when the tax rates were 35%, even though the carryback losses were generated in years when the tax rate was 21%. #Stephensbros #NOL #QIP #CARESACT #TAXRATE #realestatebroker #realestateinvesting #realestatedeveloper #newconstruction #renovation #bonus (at Safe Horizon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAajlP3jwcd/?igshid=1qtyxgh4xiwml
