Make Your Year-End Planning Count

Join Middle Michigan Development Corporation (MMDC) for a Lunch & Learn featuring Source Advisors, who will share tax strategies, credits, and incentives that can help manufacturers prepare for year-end and strengthen their long-term financial strategy.

Manufacturers may have access to a range of tax-saving opportunities tied to capital investments, facility expansions, energy efficiency, research and development, and inventory management. With recent tax law changes and certain incentives subject to deadlines, understanding which opportunities may apply to your business—and when to act—can make a meaningful difference.

Topics We’ll Cover

• Cost Segregation & Real Estate Tax Strategies: Explore changes to bonus depreciation under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Qualified Production Property (QPP), and component elections that may help maximize upfront depreciation for qualifying projects spanning 2023–2026.

• Qualified Production Property (QPP): Learn what QPP is, which production facilities may qualify, and key timing considerations for eligible construction and expansion projects planned before January 1, 2031.

• Energy Efficiency Incentives & Tax Credits: Review Section 179D energy-efficient building deductions, potential look-back opportunities, and investment and production tax credits (ITC and PTC), including important sunset provisions.

• Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credits: Understand potential federal and state R&D tax credit opportunities and how qualifying activities may apply to manufacturing operations.

• LIFO Inventory Accounting: Learn how the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory method may help businesses manage the tax impact of inflation on inventory costs.
