Important Depreciation Considerations
Business Use Requirement:
Only the business-use portion of equipment qualifies for depreciation. Mixed-use assets must be allocated between business and personal use.
Recapture Risk:
Section 179 and bonus depreciation may be “recaptured” as ordinary income if business use falls below 50% or if the asset is sold for a gain.
Cash Flow Impact:
Accelerated depreciation provides immediate tax benefits but reduces future deductions. Consider your multi-year tax planning strategy.
Professional Guidance: Depreciation strategies can significantly impact your taxes. Consult with a tax professional to optimize your approach based on your specific situation.
