For example, if you invested $50,000 today in a project that had 85% of its costs in IDCs, you could elect to deduct $42,500 from your taxable income for 2021. If you are in the top 39.6% federal tax bracket this deduction could save you approximately $14,875 in federal income taxes – please speak with your tax advisor for information specific to your situation.</p> <p>IDC deductions are available in the year the money was invested, even if the well does not start drilling until March 31 of the year following the contribution of capital. <strong>Aresco has immediate drilling opportunities for 2021 tax deductions.</strong></p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Intangible Drilling Costs Tax Treatment" width="500" height="281" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149if_/https://www.youtube.com/embed/8kLewFP6lHg?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://www.arescotx.com" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <h2>Oil Drilling Tax Deductions</h2> <h3>Other Direct Oil Investment Tax Deductions & Tax Benefits</h3> <h4>Tangible Drilling Costs – Capitalized and depreciated over a 7-year period</h4> <p>Oil and gas drilling equipment such as casing, pump jacks, and wellheads are considered Tangible Drilling Costs (TDCs). Continuing with the example above, the remaining $7,500 (15% of the cost of the well) would be classified as TDCs.</p> <h4>Intangible Completion Costs – Deductible in the year they are incurred</h4> <p>Intangible Completion Costs are generally related to non-salvageable goods and services, such as labor, completion materials, completion rig time, fluids etc. ICCs usually amount to about 15% of the total well cost and provide a great tax benefit.</p> <h4><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-benefits.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-0" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-9345" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-benefits.jpg" alt="Tax Benefits of Oil and Gas Investing" width="350" height="356" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-benefits.jpg 443w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-benefits-295x300.jpg 295w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px"/></a></strong>Depreciation of Oil and Gas Assets – Depreciated over a 7-year period</h4> <p>While services and materials used during the drilling process offer no salvage value, equipment used in the completion and production of a well is generally salvageable. Items such as these are usually depreciated over a seven-year period, utilizing the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery system or MACRS. Equipment in this category includes casing, tanks, wellhead and tree, pumping units, etc. Equipment and tangible completion expenses generally account for 15% to 30% of the total well cost.</p> <h4>Oil and Gas Depletion Allowance – Shelter 15% of the well’s annual production from income tax</h4> <p>Once an oil or gas well is in production, the working interest owners in the well are allowed to shelter some of the gross income derived from the sale of the oil and/or gas through a depletion deduction. Two types of depletion are available, cost and statutory (also referred to as percentage depletion). Cost depletion is calculated on the relationship between current production as a percentage of total recoverable reserves. Statutory or percentage depletion is subject to several qualifications and limitations. This deduction will generally shelter 15% of the well’s annual production from income tax.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Oil Depletion Allowance - IRS Tax Treatment" width="500" height="281" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149if_/https://www.youtube.com/embed/49zAV4K7QVc?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://www.arescotx.com" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <h4>Lease Operating Expense Oil and Gas – Tax Deductible in the year they are incurred without AMT consequences</h4> <p>Lease Operating Expenses cover the day-to-day costs involved with the operation of a well. The expense also covers the costs of re-entry or re-work of an existing producing well.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-gas-tax-deductions-75141672_s.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-16586" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-gas-tax-deductions-75141672_s.jpg" alt="Oil and Gas Investments Tax Deductions" width="350" height="233" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-gas-tax-deductions-75141672_s.jpg 450w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-gas-tax-deductions-75141672_s-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px"/></a>Lastly, the tax benefits from oil and natural gas production have historically triggered potential taxation under the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). However, Congress provided some tax relief in the early 1990’s for “independent producers”. An independent producer was defined as an individual or company with production of 1,000 barrels per day or less. Although there is still the potential for AMT taxation for excess IDCs, percentage or statutory depletion is no longer considered a preference item.</p> <div id="attachment_26765" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-26765" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-26765" title="Tax Deductible Investments Infographic" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic.jpg" alt="Tax Deductible Investments Infographic" width="600" height="620" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic.jpg 1200w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic-291x300.jpg 291w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic-992x1024.jpg 992w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194149im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/tax-deductible-investments-infographic-768x793.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"/></a><p id="caption-attachment-26765" class="wp-caption-text"><i>Click to Enlarge</i></p></div> <h4>Disclaimer</h4> <p>The above general discussion is provided for background information only.
