Deductions & credits

No, there is no Section 179 for a partial use building. You can depreciate each 40 and 30% over 39 years.


 When it comes to single-purpose agricultural structures (SPAS), you would generally qualify for:

  • a Section 179 deduction of up to $500,000 in 2010 and 2011;
  • bonus depreciation on the remainder of the cost (for new construction in 2010); and
  • the net remaining amount being depreciated over 10 years, not 20 years

SPAS are defined as single-purpose livestock structures or single-purpose horticultural structures.
