Thank you very much!

I still have a question. So a 5-year property using Half-Year Convention MACRS can be depreciated 20% in Year 1 and 32% in Year 2.  Is it 20% of the original basis? Or 20% of the 20% remaining basis?

 

Example, a $10,000 5-year asset:

 

Year 2023: depreciate $8,000

Year 2024: depreciate $2,000 x 20% = $400? or depreciate $10,000 x 20%= $2,000?

 

Or 

Year 2023: depreciate $8,000 + $2,000 x 20% = $8,400 

Year 2024: depreciate $2,000 x 32% =$640

 

Thank you for your help again!
