Unlocking Bonus Depreciation to Maximize Tax Savings

Presented by Brian Hanks, Functional Analyst, KS2 Technologies

Bonus Depreciation can be a powerful tax strategy for capital-intensive businesses — but only if your ERP is configured to support it. Under Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, businesses can deduct up to 100% of qualifying fixed asset costs in the year they’re placed in service. For companies using JD Edwards, unlocking these savings requires more than awareness — it demands the right setup.

In this session, KS2 will walk through how to operationalize Bonus Depreciation inside JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. We’ll use real-world examples from industries like construction, manufacturing, real estate, and logistics to show how clients have configured their systems to stay compliant, maximize deductions, and avoid costly pitfalls.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of:

• Current tax law and phase-out timelines through 2026

• What qualifies for Bonus Depreciation — and common misconceptions

• How to configure JDE’s Fixed Assets module for multi-book depreciation and IRS compliance

• Lessons learned from real implementations — including reporting tips and audit readiness
