The minimum number of years over which the cost of an asset may be deducted (the recovery period) depends on the type of the property and the year in which the property was acquired. The calculation of depreciation expense for tax purposes involves certain conventions and limitations. Under MACRS, taxpayers calculate the depreciation of an asset using a table which contains a percentage rate for each year of the property's recovery period. The yearly rate is applied to the cost of the asset. The cost of the property to which the rate is applied is not reduced for prior years' depreciation. Note: There are different tables for residential realty (e.g., an apartment building) and nonresidential realty. Question Content Area b.
