In March 29th the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2011-26 that provides detailed guidance on the 2010 Tax Relief Act’s 100% and extended 50% bonus depreciation rules. The new Rev. Proc. allows a broader definition of binding contact dates for self-constructed property to permit 100% bonus depreciation for components that are part of a larger project that began construction before Sept. 9, 2010. Taxpayers are also allowed to choose between 100% or 50% bonus depreciation for the 2010 tax year. Also the IRS has allowed 100% bonus depreciation for qualified restaurant property or qualified retail improvement property that also meets the definition of qualified leasehold improvement property.
