Bonus depreciation/ Section 179 deduction

This may be a stupid question but I just want to make sure. Assets qualify for 100% bonus depreciation. But Pennsylvania disallows special bonus depreciation, so I may switch to Section 179 which Pa allows up to certain amount. (Plenty of net income either way for Federal). If these assets qualify for special bonus depreciation, will they also qualify for Section 179 depreciation? I'm assuming yes, but you never know, and I just want to be sure. If I have to look them up I'll look them up. Thanks.

Most of the time what qualifies for bonus qualifies for 179 and vice versa. Off hand, my tired brain does not remember the differences.

But your run of the mill furniture, equipment, computers can use either.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
