Should your business maximize deductions for real estate improvements now or spread them out?

Have you made improvements to business real estate? You may be eligible for tax breaks for qualified improvement property (QIP). QIP includes any improvement to an interior portion of a nonresidential building that’s placed in service after the date the building was placed in service. QIP can be depreciated over 15 years (rather than 39). It’s also eligible for bonus depreciation and Sec. 179 expensing, which have been enhanced for 2025 and beyond. While maximizing first-year depreciation can be beneficial, sometimes spreading out depreciation deductions over multiple years can be better, such as if you’re in a higher tax bracket in the future. We can help you determine what’s best for you.

Boost your tax savings by donating appreciated stock instead of cash

Are you charitably inclined and looking for a powerful year-end tax-saving strategy? Consider donating appreciated publicly traded stock you’ve held more than one year to a qualified charity. You may be able to enjoy two tax benefits: First, if you itemize deductions, you can claim a charitable deduction equal to the stock’s fair market value. Second, you won’t be subject to the capital gains tax you’d owe if you sold the stock. Donating appreciated stock can be especially beneficial if you’re facing the 3.8% net investment income tax or the top 20% long-term capital gains rate this year. To learn more about minimizing capital gains tax or maximizing charitable deductions, contact us today.

There’s still time for businesses to benefit from clean energy tax breaks

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminates many business-related clean energy tax incentives. For example, the Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit is available only for vehicles that were acquired on or before Sept. 30, 2025. But businesses can still take advantage of other clean energy breaks if they act soon. The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is available for property that stores or dispenses clean-burning fuel or recharges electric vehicles if placed in service by June 30, 2026. Similarly, the deduction for energy-efficient improvements to commercial buildings is available for eligible property beginning construction by June 30, 2026. Contact us to learn more.
