Section B: Assets placed in service in 2020.
2020 Form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization is used for assets in their first year being depreciated.
Most assets could be depreciated under General Depreciation System GDS.
If you placed your asset in your business for the first time 2020, you would depreciate it in Section B of Part 3 of Form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization.
Line 19 a to Line 19 i: enter the depreciation for new assets placed in your business in 2020.
Include them on your right lines that correspond to their recovery year:
5 – Year Property
Vehicles
General truck
Calculators
Printer
Computer
Computer’s peripheral equipment
Appliances, Furnitures, carpet used in rental real estate
For full list instructions to form 4562 page 8.
7-year property
Office furniture,
Office equipment,
Any property that does not have a class life
10-year property
Fruit trees and vines
To know the proper classification life in column a under section B for your property, look for the class life in Publication 946 page 30.
Column c under section B: basis of depreciation: enter the portion allocated for business and investment use minus any section 179, special allowances, and credits
Column d: Recovery period: enter the number of years the asset would be depreciated.
Column e: enter the convention used to depreciate: HY (half year), MQ (mid quarter), and MM (mid Month)
Mid Quarter convention
If the total basis of assets placed in service during the last 3 months of the year is more than 40%, use the Mid quarter convention for each asset placed in service in 2020 using the mid quarter for the quarter each asset is placed in service. In the example below almost 60% of the cost of asset placed in service in 2020 accounts for the fourth quarter ($189.73/$318).
What is the Mid-Month convention?
If you placed residential and nonresidential rental properties in service, you must depreciate them using the mid-month convention.
Half-Year Convention
Use half-year convention if you placed assets (that are not mid-month convention assets) in service in 2020 in any quarter other than the last 3 months of the year. Or the cost of assets placed in service in the last quarter is 40% or less of the total assets placed in service that year.
Column e: enter the method of depreciation:
Enter 200 DB for 200% declining balance
150 DB for 150% declining balance
S/L for straight line depreciation method
Column g: enter the amount depreciated for the property for the year.
The rate can be found on publication 946. If the straight-line rate is higher than the declining rate for the first year, use the straight line for the first year.
