Bonus depreciation in Pennsylvania
Does not conform to federal bonus depreciationOn the federal return, 100% bonus depreciation is permanent for qualifying property acquired after January 19, 2025 (property acquired on or before that date follows the older phase-down rates). A cost segregation study is what identifies the 5-, 7-, and 15-year property that bonus depreciation can reach.
Pennsylvania's personal income tax does not allow bonus depreciation (regular depreciation methods only), and its corporate tax requires a bonus addback recovered through normal depreciation. Pennsylvania's late-2025 legislation also decoupled from other new federal expensing provisions.
Philadelphia's rowhouse stock gives investors accessible entry points and deep rental demand across the city's neighborhoods.
