2.313	Seven-Year Amortization for Reforestation Taxpayers may elect to amortize reforestation costs for qualified timber property over a seven-year period. In the absence of this special provision, these costs would be capitalized and depreciated over a longer period or recovered when the timber is sold. The accelerated cost recovery results in a deferral of tax or an interest-free loan. Origin: IRC, § 194 Estimate: $0.6	0.3	0.3	0.3	0.3	0.6
