The Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) is a method of depreciation that spreads the deduction of a property’s cost over specific periods. Originating from the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 and later modified, ACRS was devised to provide significant tax incentives.
Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code outlines the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which are methods of calculating depreciation for tax purposes.
