quick tax tip
with art werner
cpe today

in the latest quick tax tip episode, tax expert art werner dives into one of the most talked-about provisions in the new tax bill: the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation.

“under the tax cuts and jobs act, bonus depreciation started to phase down from 100% to zero,” werner explains. “for 2025, it was set at 40%. but this new bill retroactively restores 100% bonus depreciation — starting jan. 20, 2025 — and keeps it that way through the end of 2029.”
