Bonus Depreciation Add-Back
An addition modifation is required equal to the net increase in depreciation resulting from bonus depreciation claimed on the federal return. To calculate this addition modification, the amount of the add-back on line 1f must be subtracted from the basis of property placed in service in 2013. Then MACRS depreciation must be calculated on the remaining property basis. The amount entered on this line equals the amount that the federal depreciation claimed, less the amount on line 1f, exceeds the recalculated MACRS depreciation. If the recalculated MACRS depreciation is greater than the adjusted federal depreciation, no addition modification is required.
Fiduciary Adjustment
If applicable, enter your share of a fiduciary adjustment (addition modifications) relating to income from an estate or trust (36 M.R.S.A. § 5122(3)). You must attach a copy of your federal Schedule K-1.
