What is the treatment of a § 179 expensing carryforward?
Any § 179 amount in excess of business income / the asset acquisition cost limitation is carried forward to future taxable years and added to/ deducted from other amounts eligible for expensing. The § 179 amount eligible for expensing in a carryforward year is limited to the greater / lesser of (1) the current statutory dollar amount increased / reduced by the cost of § 179 property placed in service in excess of the appropriate acquisition limit in the carryforward year or (2) the business income / asset acquisition cost limitation in the carryforward year.
*Note: These amounts are used for depreciation calculations. Assume further that Mendoza is subject to a 3
0% income tax, both for ordinary income and gains/losses associated with disposal of machinery, and that
all cash flows occur at the end of the year, except for the initial investment. Assume that straight-line
depreciation is used for tax purposes and that any tax associated with the disposal of machinery occurs at
the same time of the related transaction. Required: Determine relevant cash flows (after-tax) at time of
purchase of the new machine (i.e., time 0: January 1, 2019). Determine the relevant (after-tax) cash inflow
each year of project operation (i.e., at the end of each of years 1 through 5). Determine the relevant (after-
tax) cash inflow at the end of the project's life (i.e., at the project's disposal time, December 31, 2023).
Determine the undiscounted net cash flow (after tax) for the new machine and determine whether on this
basis the old machine should be…

Under the half-year convention, one-half year of depreciation is allowed in the year the property is placed in service. If a taxpayer elects to use the straight-line method of depreciation for property in the 5 -year class, all other 5 -year class property acquired during the year must also be depreciated using the straight-line method. In some cases, when a taxpayer places a significant amount of property in service during the last quarter of the year, real property must be depreciated using a mid-quarter convention. Real property acquired after 1986 must be depreciated using the straight-line method. The cost of property to which the MACRS rate is applied is not reduced for estimated salvage value.arrow_forwardCost-basis information for all sales transactions.Cost-basis information for all covered security sales transactions.Cost-basis information for all capital gain or loss sales for years beginning with tax year 2008.Cost-basis information for all capital gain or loss sales transactions.
