Bill to Correct Qualified Improvement Property Glitch Fails to Gain Traction in the House
On Nov. 20, the House of Representatives failed to approve a motion that would have attached the Restoring Investment in Improvement Act (H.R. 1869) to the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (H.R. 1309). H.R. 1869 would correct a drafting error in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changes to section 168 that prevents qualified improvement property from being eligible for full expensing. Specifically, while qualified improvement property was intended to be eligible for full expensing, a drafting error failed to assign a useful life to the class of property, which in turn prevented the class of property from being eligible for full expensing.
