Basis reduction for 1/2 Investment Tax Credit

Feb 15, 2007 2 Replies

I am writing off an old asset that was capitalized in 1984, back when the investment credit was calculated, and the basis reduced by one-half the ITC. I am now writing the asset off the books. Would it be correct to write off the one-half basis adjustment against retained earnings and make it an M-1 item? Or, can I take a loss for the remaining basis?

Remaining basis on a 1984 assets? What might that be?
