The CARES Act and Cost Segregation – New Opportunities

30 Mar

The CARES Act, a $2.2 Trillion bill was passed in response to the Corona virus Pandemic. There are parts of this bill that will have a direct impact on Cost Segregation. Please contact me for more information or to assist you in helping your clients take advantage of this new information.

Net Operating Losses:

Allows for a five year carryback of net operating losses arising in 2018, 2019, and 2020. It also allows net operating losses to offset 100% of income (as opposed to being limited to no carryback and only to 80% income offset from carryforward losses under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that was in place before the CARES Act).

Impact – Example – A Cost Segregation study is applied in 2019 which causes such a large depreciation deduction that the client reports a net operating loss in 2019. He can carry this loss back for 5 years and apply it to gains made in those years. This would result in a tax refund providing cash flow in a time of need.

Important Note – The 5 year carryback rules require you to go back 5 years and roll forward from there if the loss is in excess of the carryback years income.
Example – John Smith has income for the past 5 years, and a loss in 2019 as follows:
2014 – $75,000
2015 – $150,000
2016 – $400,000
2017 – $350,000
2018 – $195,000
2019 – $(425,000)
In this case John would roll the $425,000 loss back to the 5th year 2014 and offset all of that income, then roll the remaining $350,000 to 2015 and offset all of that income, and finally roll the balance of $200,000 to 2016.

Qualified Improvement Property:

Qualified Improvement Property has been corrected to be identified as 15 year property meaning it would be eligible for 100% bonus depreciation. This change is effective for property acquired and placed in service after 9/27/2017.

Impact – Since the definition of Qualified Improvement Property was introduced, CSSI has been identifying this property as Qualified Improvement Property within our reports. This property is now eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so previous clients with this type of property included in their reports can now retroactively apply bonus depreciation to these improvements. 

More Time:

With the extension of time to file for 2019 taxes, there are opportunities to still have Engineering-Based Cost Segregation done for any commercial or rental residential properties over $200,000.
