#BringBackBonus: Restore 100% Bonus Depreciation
Join the industry movement supporting the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation for American businesses and real estate investors
Why This Matters
President Trump's proposal to restore 100% bonus depreciation retroactive to January 20, 2025 would provide significant economic benefits for real estate investors, businesses, and the American economy:
- Stronger Investment Incentives: Full expensing reduces the after-tax cost of capital investments, improving project-level cash flow and accelerating the timeline for new acquisitions and improvement projects.
- Economic Growth Engine: According to economic analysis, extending 100% bonus depreciation would boost private investment, increase wages, and drive GDP growth.
- Inflation Protection: In today's high-inflation environment, immediate expensing helps preserve the present value of depreciation deductions.
- Real Estate Optimization: When paired with cost segregation studies, bonus depreciation enables accelerated deductions on 5-, 7-, and 15-year property classes—covering site improvements, interior finishes, and mechanical systems.
By signing this petition, you're joining a coalition of real estate investors, CPAs, cost segregation specialists, and business leaders advocating for smart fiscal policy that rewards investment in America's future.

Subject: Support 100% Bonus Depreciation to Keep American Growth Strong
Dear [Senator/Congressman] [Last Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I’m a real estate investor and business owner in [Your State/District]. I’m reaching out to strongly urge you to support making 100% bonus depreciation permanent in the upcoming tax legislation.
Full expensing is critical for encouraging real estate investment, property improvement, and job creation across the country. It allows businesses like mine to reinvest faster, upgrade properties, and help strengthen local economies. Without it, investment will slow, new projects will become more expensive, and small businesses tied to real estate will be hurt at a time when American growth should be the top priority.
100% bonus depreciation has been one of the most effective pro-growth tax policies Congress has ever passed. Making it permanent would directly support American workers, communities, and long-term economic strength.
Please make permanent 100% bonus depreciation a priority in this year’s tax bill. Real estate investors, small businesses, and the American economy are counting on it.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City/State]
[Your Company, if applicable]
[Optional: Phone/Email]
