IRS 1120S 2018 Form and Form 1120: Basics
Form 4562: Depreciation and Amortization Definition
It applies to both depreciable and depreciable property, including trade and business property, but primarily applies to property on the books of businesses. The Form 4562 has four methods that can be used: The original basis method. The depreciation method, also called the initial method The accelerated method, also called the later method The use-or-sell method. The depreciation method is called the original basis method because the basis was the purchase price of the property, which is the part of the business that you bought with cash or capitalized, with a change in its use or condition. The depreciable property must be written down to its original purchase price. If it is written down to zero (or its basis is 0), there is no change. For additional information on depreciation rules see Publication 550, Business Property, available at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p550g.pdf. This is generally done by amortizing the basis over the original use and condition. You can also compute the final value of the property. For more information, see Depreciation on page 56 of Publication 560, Business and Tax-Related Investments. Form 4562 used to deduct amounts from a business's income for depreciation. The amount depends on the method used, whether a taxpayer's depreciation deductions are limited or not, if the taxpayer is self-employed or not, whether the depreciation is capital, business or occupational, for tax years before 2006, and more. If you use the original basis method or the depreciation method, you may have a loss. For more information on the loss treatment required for this method, see chapter 8 of Publication 550 and Pub. 535, Distributions from Corporations. It's possible that a loss will be allowed for depreciation purposes for you or the taxpayer under a special depreciation provision of the Internal Revenue Service Code. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidance with respect to this issue. For information on these issues, including whether you may be able to deduct the loss on other grounds, see chapter 8 of Publication 560, Business and Tax-Related Investments. If you use the accelerated method, you may have a net allowable depreciation in your business, and that may not be taxable (see Nondeductible Expenses). For more information, see Nondeductible Expenses on page 41 of Publication
