New York, New Jersey, and most other states disallow bonus depreciation, requiring unfavorable state adjustments. Some states limit section 179 (New Jersey caps it at $25,000), but others (like New York) allow the full federal deduction. When both benefits are used, section 179 is claimed prior to bonus depreciation.
