If you placed a “NEW” qualified asset in service before September 28, 2017, then you would qualify for the 50% bonus depreciation, or if you acquired and placed a “NEW or USED” qualified asset in service after September 27, 2017, then you can elect to use the 50% bonus for the first tax year after September 27, 2017.
In TurboTax, you will need initially select 50% or 100%, but when you go through the interview for depreciation of an asset you will have the chance to select;
Taking the 179 in full, or take a partial 179 with the remainder depreciated over the life of the asset, or depreciate the asset over the life of the asset without taking any 179.
You have two choices regarding the bonus depreciation that you can ignore, and the bonus will not be applied in any way.
