James decides to elect straight-line depreciation under MACRS for the asset over the minimum number of years (7 years) and does not use bonus depreciation or make the election to the expense.

    The depreciation deduction for the year is $583.33

    Explanation:

    Depreciable basis = $7,000

    Number of years = 7 years

    Depreciation per year = $7,000 / 7 years

    Depreciation per year = $1,000 per year

    Assuming year end is December 31, 2019

    Number of month passed in 2019 = December 31, 2019 - June 1, 2019 = 7 months

    Depreciation for the year 2019 = $1,000 x (7 / 12) = $583.33

    So the depreciation deduction for the year is $583.33
