🔍 State Section 179 Difference
This guide explains how to enter a state Section 179 difference on the Depreciation Worksheet when your state amounts are different from the federal amounts.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Use this when:
- You are preparing a state return
- Your state depreciation, 179 deduction, or basis for the property is different from the federal amounts
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Select the State Difference Check Box
Use this when you need to indicate that your state amounts differ from federal amounts.
On the Depreciation Worksheet, below the heading Depreciation, Amortization, and Section 179, select the check box if you are preparing a state return and the state depreciation, 179 deduction, or basis for the property is different from the federal amounts.
Step 2: Fill Out Both Federal and State Columns
Use this to ensure the worksheet is complete after selecting the state difference option.
If you select this check box, both the Federal and State columns in this section must be filled in. Even when the amounts are the same for both.
Step 3: Enter the State Section 179 Expense Maximum Allowed
Use this when your state Section 179 maximum allowed is not $25,000.
Go to the Section 179 section of the Depreciation Worksheet and above line 1, enter the state section 179 expense maximum allowed if it is anything other than $25,000.
