Roger started a new business in 2021 and purchases 3 year class property on February 14, 2021 in the amount of $120,000. On July 15, 2021, Roger purchases five year class property in the amount of $185,000. On December 15, 2021, Roger purchases $2,450,000 of 7 year class property. Assume Roger has $5,000,000 of net business income before consideration of any §179 deduction . Also assume that Roger does not elect straight-line depreciation.
Assume Roger does not elect §179 treatment. Calculate Roger’s cost recovery for 2021.
Assume Roger DOES elect §179 treatment. Calculate Roger’s cost recovery for 2021.
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 37%, determine the tax benefit from electing §179 (i.e. compare part A and part B using the tax rate given).
Read the actual IRC section 179. Print ONLY the small part that discusses estates and trusts. Does §179 apply to estates and trusts?
