Proposed Rules Address 100-Percent Depreciation Deduction
Proposed regulations address the new 100-percent depreciation deduction that allows businesses to write off most depreciable business assets in the year they are placed in service.
Background
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) ( P.L. 115-97) amended Code Sec. 168(k) to increase the percentage of the additional first year depreciation deduction from 50 percent to 100 percent for property acquired after September 27, 2017. It also expanded the property eligible for the additional first year depreciation to include certain used depreciable property and certain film, television, or live theatrical productions.
Generally, the 100-percent depreciation deduction generally applies to depreciable business assets with a recovery period of 20 years or less and certain other property. Such assets include in part machinery, equipment, computers, appliances, and furniture.
The proposed regulations provide guidance on what property qualifies for the deduction, and rules for qualified film, television, live theatrical productions and certain plants.
QUESTION:
Mike, I keep notes on my tenants and vendors. Notes the one they can’t see. I would like to print off all the notes I have for 1 vendor. How do I do this?
This would be great for tenants also. Again, this is for the Notes they cannot see.
Thanks,

QUESTION from Jared:
Hi Mike,
I am absolutely loving the videos and system you have created with Investor Book’s Pro. I successfully have caught up my 2019 books using the system and am using my “rainy weekends” as you mention in the Quick Start videos to fill in previous years (to determine the cost basis of my properties.. and I’m super analytical and want my numbers to match). I’m making my way back to 2016 and almost have everything wrapped up.
For one of my properties I purchased subject to the existing mortgage, the mortgage company escrows taxes and insurance. I cancelled the seller’s insurance and purchased my own at the time of closing. A month after I purchased the property, a disbursement went out of the escrow account to my insurance company. A few days later, the seller’s previous insurance company sent the refunded insurance money to the mortgage company. The mortgage company added the funds to the escrow balance.
I’m not sure where what account to choose in the Escrow register since it wasn’t originally my funds. Initially I thought I would put it in the fixed asset for the property but the money doesn’t go to benefit the property but rather it is sitting in the escrow account. Any advice on how to best enter this? One other way I thought to do is add the refund to the starting escrow balance and call it good. The numbers would work and it wouldn’t impact any of my company financials.
