Answer:
The answer is: Gail's § 179 deduction for 2019 is $145,000
Explanation:
§ 179 of the IRS Code, allows taxpayer to either:
- deduct the cost of certain types of property from gross income taxes as an expense
- allow the cost of the property to be capitalized and depreciated.
If Gail had a § 179 deduction carryover of $30,000 and then she acquired an asset for $115,000, her total § 179 deduction for 2019 is $30,000 + $115,000 = $145,000
