Summary

The bill lets owners of newly built rental buildings with at least two units claim an immediate depreciation deduction equal to either $150,000 per unit or the full cost of the building, whichever is lower. If the building qualifies for the low‑income housing tax credit, the per‑unit amount rises to $250,000 and the recapture period is extended. The deduction is optional and must be elected on the tax return.
