Feedback

Under the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS), the cost of an asset is recovered over a predetermined period that is generally shorter than the useful life of the asset or the period the asset is used to produce income. MACRS provides separate cost recovery tables for realty (real property) and personalty (personal property). Write-offs are not available for land because it does not have a determinable useful life. Cost recovery allowances for real property, other than land, are based on recovery lives specified in the law. Section 179 (Election to Expense Certain Depreciable Business Assets) permits the taxpayer to elect to write off up to part of the acquisition cost of tangible personal property used in a trade or business.
