As explained in the Federal Register ( Reg-104397-18), “the proposed regulations instruct taxpayers how to determine the additional first year depreciation deduction and the amount of depreciation otherwise allowable for this property.” Overall, the provisions outlined in the proposed regulations describe and clarify the statutory requirements that must be met for depreciable property to qualify for the additional first year bonus depreciation. The new bonus depreciation schedule is as follows: Property Placed in Service or Acquired When a taxpayer constructs property itself, where no written contract is in place, the property is considered acquired when the taxpayer begins manufacturing, constructing or producing the property. Property purchased or constructed for the taxpayer by a third party is considered acquired when a written binding contract for the property is signed.

The property is “new” if the original use of the property begins with the taxpayer. The property may be new or used, but must be “new” to you.
