Maximizing Tax Benefits with Bonus Depreciation | What Works Wednesday
August 6, 2025
Today we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood (but incredibly powerful) tax tools for business owners and real estate investors: bonus depreciation. If you’ve ever wondered how some folks seem to write off huge purchases – or how real estate pros manage to wipe out their income with the right tax strategy — this episode is for you. We are talking about how bonus depreciation actually works, what qualifies, and why you can’t ignore depreciation recapture when it comes time to sell. I’ll also break down how bonus depreciation compares to Section 179, and why choosing the right approach could mean the difference between a huge tax win and an unexpected liability. As always, I’m keeping this practical and strategy-focused. Whether you’re buying equipment, investing in real estate, or planning ahead for a big purchase — this conversation will help you make smarter, more confident decisions.
