I believe I am making an error on how to enter a 179 deduction on an Asset Entry Worksheet
Here's the situation:
SPECIAL DEPRECIATION
1. I have a partnership return which has a single commercial rental building
2. Partners paid $45,375 K for a new roof in 2023 and have $80K of income
3. I created an Asset Worksheet for the roof, put in service in 2023. I entered code "J5" (Qualified Improvement Property) for the type of asset on the Asset Worksheet. I also check "yes" for Economic Stimulus - Qualified Property, just under the type of asset.
4. The actions above in paragraph 3 properly generates $36,300 on line 14 (80% of the $45,375) of Form 4562 (Part II Special Depreciation Allowance and Other Depreciation) and shows up on line 14 Depreciation) on Form 8825. All is perfect, but...........
SECTION 179
5. When I attempt the same process as described above for Special Depreciation, I do not achieve success on the Section 179 deduction showing up on the 4562 or 8825. Here is my approach
6. I enter $45,375 on the Section 179 deduction line on the Asset Entry Sheet to the right of Date placed in service
7. I have used these Type of Asset codes:
J5 - Qualified improvement property
J6 - Roofs/HVAC/Fire/Alarm/Security
In both the cases of J5 and J6, the $45,375 shows up on line 8 of Form 4562 but shows up in the Smart box immediately below as being limited on line A and then on line D as "Disallowed"
Can anyone assist in helping me figure out my error? Thanks,
Lew
