To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for an election to expense certain qualified sound recording costs otherwise chargeable to capital account.

The bill defines qualified sound recording production as certain sound recordings produced and recorded in the United States.

AI Summary

This bill, the Help Independent Tracks Succeed (HITS) Act, amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow taxpayers to deduct up to $150,000 in qualified sound recording production costs in the year the expenses are incurred, rather than having to capitalize and depreciate those costs over time. The bill defines "qualified sound recording production" as certain sound recordings produced and recorded in the United States. The bill also allows qualified sound recording productions to be eligible for bonus depreciation. The amendments made by this bill would apply to productions commencing in taxable years ending after the date of the bill's enactment.
