100% bonus depreciation is back.
But timing can cost you.

Most people focus on when an asset is used.
Now, the purchase date matters just as much.

To qualify for 100%, the asset must be:
• Acquired after January 19, 2025
• Placed in service after January 19, 2025

Miss one—and the deduction drops.

Same asset. Same use date. Different purchase date = different tax result.

If you bought assets in early 2025, double-check before filing.

This is where returns go wrong.

Waiting on your tax refund?

Some taxpayers may experience delays this year if the IRS cannot process their direct deposit. The IRS has sent about 830,000 CP53E notices asking taxpayers to update their banking information.

You typically have 30 days to respond. If the information is not updated, the IRS may send a paper check, which could take up to 12 weeks.

If you receive a CP53E notice, log in to your IRS account and update your bank details to help avoid delays.https://www.sandiegotaxhelp.com/post/paper-refund-checks-may-take-longer-this-year
