1What it is and why
| What it is | A setup page where you define special depreciation allowances, extra depreciation taken in the first year an asset is in service. |
|---|---|
| What you do here | Used to set allowances as a percentage or fixed amount, which you then attach to a fixed asset group's book with a priority. |
| Example | For example, with a Section 179 allowance of 1,000.00 at priority 1 and a Liberty Zone allowance of 30 percent at priority 2 on a 5,000.00 asset, the second allowance is 30 percent of the remaining 4,000.00, or 1,200. |
