What Is IRS Notice 2026-16?
If you are in construction accounting, this is the news you have been waiting for. The new Section 168(n) allows taxpayers to elect a 100% depreciation deduction on qualified production property—essentially factory buildings used in manufacturing.
Key Requirements
✅ Construction must BEGIN after January 19, 2025
✅ Property placed in service before 2031
✅ Applies to new factory builds and eligible components
Why This Matters
This is not a phase-down. It is full immediate expensing. This is the biggest depreciation benefit since bonus depreciation was made permanent.
Who Qualifies?
Construction companies building new facilities, manufacturers expanding production capacity, and anyone investing in qualified manufacturing buildings may benefit from this deduction.
