What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to change how adjusted financial statement income is computed. Specifically, it addresses how intangible drilling and development costs are handled. The changes would involve how depreciation and depletion expenses are accounted for. These amendments are intended to take these specific costs into account during the computation process. The new rules would apply to taxable years starting after December 31, 2025.
