Casper is a new client and unfortunately does not have a copy of his prior year tax return. He recalls that all of the assets purchased in prior years used MACRS depreciation (no §179 expense was taken). Casper does not wish to take a §179. Calculate the current year depreciation allowance for Casper’s business. Correctly report the amounts on Form 4562.
