Partnership bonus depreciation

MDavis1506
Level 1

In 2020 if a partnership buys and places into service a commercial rental building, can it claim any bonus depreciation?  The partnership has a loss for 2020 before any depreciation is deducted, so it doesn't qualify for Section 179.   My read of the bonus depreciation indicates that any assets with a useful life of greater than 20 years is not eligible for the bonus depreciation deduction.

Your interpretation is correct. If this asset type is entered on the asset entry worksheet, the program will not allow you to select bonus depreciation since it is not a qualified property type.

Buildings are not eligible for bonus depreciation.
