Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 919

3. "Qualified property" shall have the same meaning as in

Internal Revenue Code Section 168(k) as the Code existed on January

1, 2021, and shall apply to property placed in service after

December 31, 2021;

4. "Qualified improvement property" shall have the same meaning

as in Internal Revenue Code Section 168(e)(6) as the Code existed on

January 1, 2021, and shall apply to property placed in service after

December 31, 2021; and

5. "Full expensing" or "one hundred percent (100%) bonus

depreciation" means a method for taxpayers to recover costs for

certain expenditures in research and experimentation and depreciable

business assets by immediately deducting the full cost of such

expenditures in the tax year in which the cost is incurred or the

property is placed in service.

B. Taxpayers shall have the option for immediate and full

expensing for qualified property and qualified improvement property

as follows:

1. For purposes of computing income tax for taxable years

beginning after December 31, 2021, the cost of expenditures for

business assets that are qualified property or qualified improvement

property covered under Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code

shall be eligible for one hundred percent (100%) bonus depreciation

and may be deducted as an expense incurred by the taxpayer during

the taxable year during which the property is placed in service,

notwithstanding any changes to federal law related to amortization

of cost recovery beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and shall

permanently remain fully and immediately deductible as an expense in

the tax year in which the property is placed in service for purposes

of calculating the taxpayer's income;

2. If a taxpayer elects immediate and full expensing of

qualified property or qualified improvement property, any

depreciation calculated and claimed pursuant to this section shall

in no event be a duplication of any depreciation or bonus

depreciation allowed or permitted on the federal income tax return

of the taxpayer. For income tax returns filed on or after January

1, 2023, federal taxable income shall be increased by the amount of

depreciation received under the Internal Revenue Code for the

qualified property or qualified improvement property for which the

election has been made to immediately and fully expense the asset on

the Oklahoma income tax return for the year in which the property

was placed in service. A taxpayer filing a return for which federal

taxable income is not increased as provided for in this section

prior to October 1, 2023, shall file an amended return reflecting

such increase not later than June 30, 2024. The Tax Commission

shall not assess penalties or interest with respect to the failure

to reflect such increase if a correct amended return is filed as

required herein; and

3. The taxpayer's decision to recover investment costs through

immediate expensing in the year the investment cost is incurred, or

amortized over an amortization schedule, is irrevocable unless

specifically allowed for by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

C. 1. To conform to Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code,

taxpayers shall be allowed to immediately deduct as an expense the

cost of certain depreciable business assets in the tax year in which

the property is placed in service.

2. For purposes of computing income tax for taxable years

beginning after December 31, 2021, taxpayers may elect to treat the

cost of any Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code property as an
of the Internal Revenue Code,

taxpayers shall be allowed to immediately deduct as an expense the

cost of certain depreciable business assets in the tax year in which

the property is placed in service.

2. For purposes of computing income tax for taxable years

beginning after December 31, 2021, taxpayers may elect to treat the

cost of any Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code property as an

expense which is not chargeable to the capital account. Any cost so

treated shall be allowed as a deduction for the taxable year in

which the Section 179 Internal Revenue Code property is placed in

service.

D. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall, within sixty (60) days of

the effective date of this act, promulgate rules for implementation

of this act which shall conform to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

and must be consistent with the Internal Revenue Service's rules.

The provisions of this section shall supersede to the extent of any

inconsistency with any administrative rule.
