Assets that are in the Miscellaneous activity.
MACRS assets that are 27.5-year real property, 31.5-year real property, and 39-year real property.
Assets that have been forced to be real property (at

MACRS assets that are marked in the Mid-Quarter & Section 179 Force Options window to be excluded from the calculation. (To open this window, select

in an asset's Other tab.)
Assets that are acquired and also disposed of in the current year.
Assets that are autos expensed using standard mileage.
Assets completely expensed under Section 179. If an asset has been partially expensed, then the amount subject to depreciation will be included in the calculation.
