discuss when section 179 expense must be recaptured
If an expense taken as deduction under 179 drops in business to 50% or less then we need to include such amount as Ordinary income. If any qualified section 179 GO Zone property ceases to be used in the GO Zone in a later year, you must recapture the benefit of the increased section 179 expense deduction as “other income.”

" Using the Section 179 deduction increases the deduction in the initial year, but leaves smaller deductions available in future years. Section 179 does not change the total deduction of the asset over multiple years. It changes the timing of the deduction, putting a larger deduction in the initial year, leaving smaller deductions for later years (Section 179)." So why is it that a business would rather have the larger 179 deduction in the initial year?
