Get your taxes done using TurboTax
the 179 limit is computed on your 1040 not the 1120s. say the S-Corp has a profit before 179 of $30K. 179 is $50K and you took a salary from the S-Corp of $40K. your business income for 179 purposes is the $30K + the salary of $40K giving you business income of $70K which means the 179 would be allowed in full in this example. this is no carryback. another consideration is do you have basis for your actual loss.
**************************************
form 7203 was first required for certain 2021 returns
but you might want to use it to see what your basis is for 2019

***************
there is no business limitation for Special depreciation, but you still need basis to take the loss.
************************
179 can be more flexible because you can take 0% up to 100%. the remaining cost is deprecation using MACRS and the class life. if you do not take 100% 179 in the first year you cannot take more in ensuing years
************************
it's really a matter of how you want our taxes to come out subject to any loss restrictions due to basis limitations.
