Excerpt:
Real estate entities may take a 100 percent interest expense deduction. However, if this deduction is made, the entity must use the alternative depreciation system for nonresidential real property, residential real property and qualified improvement property. The alternative depreciation system does not allow for the use of “bonus” depreciation and has longer recovery periods than typical tax depreciation.
