If your equipment is above $ 500,000 you get only $ 500,000. If below you can write off the complete equipment in the first year itself.

50% Bonus Depreciation: In case the equipment is above the $ 500,000 threshold, then you are entitled to a 50% bonus depreciation.

For example, the cost of your equipment is $ 650,000. You are entitled to write off the $ 500,000 as section 179 deduction and also be able to claim the 50% bonus depreciation on the balance amount; that is $ 75000 (150,000 x 50%).

1st Year Depreciation: First-year depreciation is taken as 10% of the balance amount. Similar to bonus depreciation, this depreciation is claimable on if the value of the deduction is above $ 500,000.
