Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. One of the significant changes from this legislation impacting our real estate development clients was that the recovery period of qualified improvement property (QIP) was retroactively changed from 39 years to 15 years making it eligible for accelerated bonus deprecation and 100% expensing.

As a result of these revisions, taxpayers were allowed to change their depreciation deductions for 2018 and 2019 as it relates to QIP placed in service after December 31, 2017. The IRS then issued a procedure that allowed certain real estate partnerships that had made an irrevocable election to depreciate QIP over 40 years to revoke their elections and amend their returns and depreciate QIP over 15 years. It was the perfect storm.

One of our clients had made this irrevocable election in 2018. WM identified the opportunity to amend the return for the client which resulted in a change to the lives of the assets and the ability to elect bonus depreciation. As a result, the amended return included an additional loss to the partners of over $5.5 Million.
