Overview
New York State requires certain depreciation adjustments to be made for property placed in service in tax years when federal depreciation rules differ from New York’s. Most commonly, this applies to bonus depreciation (e.g., Section 168(k)) and certain property depreciated under MACRS.
To report these adjustments, you must complete Form IT-399 – New York State Depreciation Schedule and attach it to your Form IT-201, IT-203, or IT-204.
Who Should File Form IT-399?
You must file Form IT-399 if:
- You are claiming depreciation or disposition adjustments due to differences between federal and New York depreciation rules.
- You placed property in service in tax years where New York decoupled from federal bonus depreciation rules (e.g., 30%, 50%, 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k)).
- You are required to adjust your depreciation schedule for New York purposes.
- You are reporting a gain or loss on a sale of depreciated property where the depreciation differed between your federal and NYS returns.
