    It will deduct up to 5,600 with any method as it cannot deduct above her current taxable income.

    The rest of the cost will be aplpied into subsequent tax periods.

    Explanation:

    The S179 deduction can only be done up to a taxaable income of zero

    Therefore, as McKenzie taxable income is $5,600 it will deduct as much as that. Leaving the rest of the depreciation for further years.

    212,000 - 5.600 = 206.400
