Are there special depreciation rules for qualified property placed in service on an Indian reservation?

There are special rules that allow you to use shorter recovery periods to figure your depreciation deduction for qualified property placed in service on an Indian reservation after December 31, 2007, and by December 31, 2021 (Code Sec. 168(j)).

What is considered to be qualified property?

Property which is used predominately in the active conduct of a trade or business within an Indian Reservation and is 3-, 5-, 7-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year property and nonresidential real property is considered to be qualified property.

Real property you rent to others that is located on an Indian reservation is also eligible for the shorter recovery periods. (Code Sec. 168(j))

What property is not considered to be qualified property?

The following properties are not qualified property:

• Property used or located outside an Indian reservation on a regular basis. **
• Property acquired directly or indirectly from certain related persons.
• Property placed in service for purposes of conducting or housing certain gaming activities. Qualified property also does not include any property you must depreciate under the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS).
• Property placed in service after December 31, 2021 (Code Sec. 168(j)).

** Property in this category does not apply to qualified infrastructure property located outside the reservation that is used to connect with qualified infrastructure within the reservation.

IRS Reference

Under Section 47, the rehabilitation credit for any taxable year is the sum of 10% of the qualified rehabilitation expenditures with respect to any qualified rehabilitation building other than a certified historic structure, which is 20%.  Qualified rehabilitation expenditures with respect to any qualified rehabilitated building shall be taken into account for the taxable year which such qualified rehabilitated building is placed in service.

Excerpts fromhttps://fixedassetexperts.com/paracare/ Section 47 are shown below (View the Complete Section 47 Text)

A “qualified rehabilitated building” means any building and its structural components that meet the following guidelines:

(I)   50 percent or more of the existing external walls of such building are retained in place as external walls,

(II)  75 percent or more of the existing external walls of such building are retained in place as internal or external walls, and

(III) 75 percent or more of the existing internal structural framework of such building is retained in place, and

(IV) Building must first be placed in service before 1936.

(3) CERTIFIED HISTORIC STRUCTURE DEFINED

(A) IN GENERAL

The term “certified historic structure” means any building (and its structural components) which–

(i) is listed in the National Register, or

(ii) is located in a registered historic district and is certified by the Secretary of the Interior to the Secretary as being of historic significance to the district.

(B) REGISTERED HISTORIC DISTRICT

The term “registered historic district” means–

(i) any district listed in the National Register, and

(ii) any district–

(I) which is designated under a statute of the appropriate State or local government, if such statute is certified by the Secretary of the Interior to the Secretary as containing criteria which will substantially achieve the purpose of preserving and rehabilitating buildings of historic significance to the district, and

(II) which is certified by the Secretary of the Interior to the Secretary as meeting substantially all of the requirements for the listing of districts in the National Register.

Several reports will be issued as a result of ongoing rehabilitation work planned over an extended period of time.  It is our assumption that the taxpayer will elect the 60 month time period under Section 47 of the IRC.

Engineering Analysis and Certification

As specifically required by Section 47, we will conduct an engineering analysis of the rehabilitation work, plans, and cost records to:

• Measure the percentages of internal structural framework and external walls retained for compliance with paragraphs (c) (1) (A), (C), and (D).
• Identify component parts irrevocably devoted to use in the building as progress expenditures for compliance with paragraphs (d) (1) and (3) (A) (i) (ii).
• Estimate percentage of completion attributable to rehabilitation completed during the taxable years during the rehabilitation period under paragraph (d) (3) (D).

We will then issue a Section 47 Rehabilitation Credit Qualification Engineering Certification for each year of the rehabilitation period, attesting to all of the above requirements with the results of our measurements, analysis, and verification of client-furnished documents which in our opinion entitle the taxpayer to the 10% Rehabilitation or 20% Historic Structure Rehabilitation Credit.

It appears these were replacements of parts to keep the property in efficient operating condition or incidental repair and maintenance.

Excerpt from CCH explanation of TD9689 and Paragon Comment:

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SAFE HARBOR

Key changes made by the final repair regulations with respect to the routine maintenance safe harbor include:

• Expansion of the routine maintenance safe harbor to include buildings
• Exclusion of network assets from the safe harbor.

The costs of performing certain routine maintenance activities on a unit of property, including a building structure or one of the enumerated building systems, are deductible under a routine maintenance safe harbor (Reg. §1.263(a)-3(i)). This safe harbor is not elective.

Under the safe harbor, an amount paid is deductible if it is for ongoing activities that, as a result of the taxpayer’s use of the unit of property, the taxpayer expects to perform to keep the unit of property in its ordinarily efficient operating condition. In the case of a building, the building structure and each building system is treated as a separate unit of property. – Paragon Comment:  For example, in the case of the windows for buildings, replacement was necessary to keep the building in ordinary efficient operating condition for the ongoing business and its occupants. Capitalizing that cost before the final regulations were issued was appropriate per prior practices.  But after Revenue Procedure 2014-54 and in the future, that cost qualifies for reclassification as a repair expense.

IMPACT

The maintenance must be attributable to the taxpayer’s use of the property. Thus, the safe harbor does not apply to scheduled maintenance performed shortly after purchasing a used machine or an existing building.

Accounting method changes.

The routine maintenance safe harbor is considered an accounting method and requires a full Code Sec. 481(a) adjustment (i.e., it is not a “paid or incurred” method applied on a cut-off basis). To change to the safe harbor method provided in the final regulations under Rev. Proc. 2014-16, a taxpayer files Form 3115 using change code 184.

Additionally, here is language from the IRS that defines capital vs. repair:

The following table summarizes many of the factual considerations considered by the courts. These factors, although not exhaustive, should be considered in your analysis to distinguish between capital expenditures and deductible repairs.

If you are having issues getting into Sage Fixed Assets, this could be caused by users not exiting the
solution using File |Exit from the menu.

Often users “X” out of a window or just shut down their computer with Sage Fixed Assets open, which
causes the licenses not to be released at the server. Eventually they get locked out and can’t open the
application, because the server thinks all the user licenses are being used.

It can also be by accessing remote desktop with VPN and not closing out correctly (note: connect via
VPN is unsupported).

To correct this, you need to access Sage Fixed Assets as the administrator and remove the ghost users
following the process below.
