The productions qualify for bonus depreciation on first release
What the document says“a qualified sound recording production shall be considered to be placed in service at the time of initial release or broadcast.”
The section adds a new subclause (VI) to section 168(k)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 bringing a qualified sound recording production within qualified property where a deduction would have been allowable under section 181 without regard to subsections (a)(2) and (h) or the bonus depreciation subsection, fixes two cross references in the neighboring subclauses, and adds a new clause (iii) to section 168(k)(2)(H) treating such a production as placed in service on initial release or broadcast.
What the document actually says“a qualified sound recording production shall be considered to be placed in service at the time of initial release or broadcast.”
The recording counts as in use from a set point. That point is its first release or broadcast.
Being in use starts the write-off clock. The recording also joins the list for a bonus write-off. That list sits in another tax rule.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
