Chapters

But the tax benefits are amazing. This is where oil and gas dominates. First year deductions can be up to 90% of your investment amount. That's huge. You can write off the intangible drilling costs against active income, ordinary income, just by making the investment. Unlike real estate depreciation, which takes years and you're subject to potential recapture. Oil and gas has no recapture, and you get it that year. Plus, there's a 15% depletion allowance, which means you're only paying taxes on 85% of the income.
