1.305 Deduction for Excess First-Year Depreciation
Individuals or investors in a trade or business may elect to expense certain business assets purchased during the taxable year up to a maximum amount of $125,000. For taxpayers whose investment in eligible assets exceeds $500,000 in the year, the $125,000 ceiling is reduced by $1 for each dollar of investment above $500,000. Any remaining cost must be depreciated according to MACRS, as described in the preceding item. The immediate deduction is a tax expenditure, resulting in a deferral of tax or an interest-free loan.
