Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) passed in 2025, 100% bonus depreciation is now permanently available for new and used assets. OBBBA has restored 100% bonus depreciation and increased the depreciation that can be taken under Section 179. OBBBA also provided a new, important depreciation topic — qualified production property. These topics, covered extensively in the program, are vital for tax practitioners advising business taxpayers.
