The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 allowed businesses to deduct 30% of the cost of eligible assets before the applicable depreciation methods were applied.

On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed the $1.7 trillion omnibus 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA). Part of the CAA was the Secure 2.0 Act of 2022 (Secure Act 2.0). The Secure Act 2.0 has dozens of provisions that impact retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and IRAs. These provisions are phased in starting with the new year of 2023 through 2028, but the majority of the provisions become effective in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Some of the provisions are required and others are optional.
