The Return of 100% Bonus Depreciation

The restoration of 100% bonus depreciation via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is a massive victory for our Palm Beach County local contractors, medical offices, and landscaping companies. A tax professional can now help you write off the entire cost of eligible equipment or machinery in the very first year of purchase. This immediate deduction facilitates rapid scaling by providing the essential capital relief needed for major asset investments.

R&D Expenses Are No Longer a Burden

For the tech startups and manufacturers fueling the Palm Beach economy, the previous five-year amortization requirement for research costs is now gone. Business owners can now expense these innovation costs all at once, providing an immediate boost to their company’s cash flow. This shift from the OBBBA transforms research and development from a long-term tax burden into a current-year financial advantage.

Unlocking Significant Retroactive Tax Refunds

The recent OBBBA legislative fixes mean many Palm Beach County businesses inadvertently overpaid during the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax years. As your dedicated tax specialist, we closely examine your previous filings to identify where these old rules applied. Grace Accounting is ready to help you file the necessary amendments to claim that overpaid money back, putting hard-earned capital back into your accounts.
