Should the salvage value be deducted from the cost since there is not a separate entry line for it?
Or, is there a separate entry line? If so, where is it?

For tax purposes, salvage value has not been used since, I think, The Tax Reform Act of 1986.
The more I know the more I don’t know.

First question: Why is there salvage value?
Almost all depreciation is required to use MACRS, which has no salvage value. There are a few things that get pushed out of MACRS, but not much.
If it is NOT part of MACRS (and therefore may have a salvage value), what is the reason it is not part of MACRS?
