General instructions

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2002, NYS does not allow
the federal special depreciation deduction for Internal Revenue Code
IRC § 168(k) property [except for resurgence zone property and New
York liberty zone property described in IRC § 1400L(b)(2)], placed in
service inside or outside NYS after May 31, 2003. Instead, you are
allowed a NYS depreciation deduction determined under IRC § 167, as
that section would have applied to the property if it had been acquired on
September 10, 2001. You may take the deduction for NYS depreciation
until the property is disposed of or fully depreciated.
If you claimed accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) depreciation on
your federal return for property placed in service beginning after May 31,
2003 [except for resurgence zone property and New York liberty zone
property described in IRC § 1400L(b)(2)], complete Part 1.
Use this form to compute your NYS adjustments for NYS depreciation
and federal depreciation deductions.
As described in IRC § 1400L(b)(2), New York liberty zone property must
have been placed in service on or before December 31, 2006, or in the
case of nonresidential real property and residential rental property, on or
before December 31, 2009.
Qualified resurgence zone property means qualified property described
in IRC § 168(k) for which all of the following apply:
•	 substantially all use of the property is in the resurgence zone; and
•	 the use is in the active conduct of a trade or business by the taxpayer
in the resurgence zone; and
•	 the original use by the taxpayer commences after December 31, 2002.
The resurgence zone is defined as the area of New York County
bounded on the south by a line running from the intersection of the
Hudson River with the Holland Tunnel, running east to Canal Street, then
running along the centerline of Canal Street to the intersection of Bowery
and Canal Street. It then runs in a southeasterly direction diagonally
across the Manhattan Bridge Plaza to the Manhattan Bridge, along the
centerline of the Manhattan Bridge to the point where the centerline
would intersect with the east bank of the East River. It is bounded on the
north by a line running from the intersection of the Hudson River with the
Holland Tunnel, running north along West Avenue to the intersection of
Clarkson Street. It then runs east along the centerline of Clarkson Street
to the intersection of Washington Avenue, then running south along the
centerline of Washington Avenue to the intersection of West Houston
Street. It continues east along the centerline of West Houston Street,
then at the intersection of Avenue of the Americas, continues east along
the centerline of East Houston Street to the east bank of the East River.
If you have an interest in a passive activity, the modifications required
under Tax Law §§ 612(b)(8) and (c)(16) for federal depreciation and NYS
depreciation must be made for the full amounts allowable as a federal
depreciation deduction (100%), even though the activity may be subject
to federal loss deduction limitations. It is only under IRC § 469 (Passive
Activity Losses and Credits Limited) that there is a limitation on passive
loss deductions.
In the case of a partnership using IRC § 168 to determine depreciation,
the individual partners should make the adjustments to income on
their personal income tax returns. The adjustments for partners are
their distributive share of NYS depreciation and federal depreciation,
determined by the partnership as of the end of the partnership year ending
within the partner’s tax year. Form IT‑398 should be completed only by the
partnership, and not by each individual partner. This treatment is the same
for a beneficiary of an estate or trust that is on a fiscal-year basis.
If you are a shareholder of an electing NYS S corporation, the
S corporation should provide your proportionate share of the
S corporation’s depreciation deduction.
If you are a nonresident or part-year resident, you must complete
Form IT-398 as if you were a NYS resident for the entire year.
If you are married and file a joint federal return but are required to file
separate NYS returns, complete only one Form IT-398 showing the
amounts from your joint federal return. Submit a schedule with each
return showing each spouse’s separate amounts, as if separate federal
returns were filed, and explain any differences.

Special rules for certain residential properties owned by
institutional real estate investors

NYS does not allow a depreciation deduction on covered properties
owned by an institutional real estate investor as described in Tax Law
§ 208.9(c-4)(2) on which depreciation was required to be added back to
federal adjusted gross income using modification A-223 on Form IT-225,
New York State Modifications. For more information, see Form IT-225-I,
Instructions for Form IT-225, New York State Modifications.
Covered property means a residential property located in NYS that
consists of no more than two dwelling units.
Do not use Form IT-398 to report depreciation amounts on any covered
properties.

Specific instructions

See the instructions for your tax return for the Privacy notification or if
you need help contacting the Tax Department.
Enter your name and identifying number (your Social Security number
or employer identification number) in the spaces provided on the front
of this form. Mark an X in the box that indicates which NYS income tax
return you are filing and submit this form with that return.
Part 1 – Depreciation
Depreciation is the annual deduction allowed to recover the cost or other
basis of business or investment property having a useful life substantially
beyond the tax year. However, land is never depreciable. Depreciation
starts when you first use the property in your business or for the
production of income. It ends when you take the property out of service,
deduct all your depreciable cost or other basis, or no longer use the
property in your business or for the production of income. (See Part 2 for
the deduction to be taken in the year you dispose of the property.)
Column C – Enter the depreciable basis of the assets you place in
service in the same year. Depreciable basis is the cost or other basis
reduced by the part of the basis you elected to amortize or expense
under IRC § 179, and any federal investment credit subtracted when
computing the federal unadjusted basis of the asset.
Column D – The applicable convention determines the portion of the
tax year for which the depreciation is allowable during a year property is
either disposed of or placed in service. Enter in column D the convention
you used from federal Form 4562, column E.
Column E – Indicate the depreciation method selected for the
computation of the NYS allowable depreciation deduction. Any consistent
depreciation method that would have been allowed under IRC § 167, as
that section would have applied to the property if it had been acquired on
September 10, 2001, without regard to § 168(k), is acceptable.
Column F – Enter your NYS depreciation deduction in column F, based
on the method you elected in column E.
Column G – Enter the depreciation deduction you took on your federal
return.
Part 2 – Year-of-disposition adjustment
If you dispose of IRC § 168(k) property [except for resurgence
zone property and New York liberty zone property described in IRC
§ 1400L(b)(2)] that you placed in service inside or outside NYS after
May 31, 2003, you must adjust your NYS income by the difference
between the total NYS depreciation deduction and the total federal
depreciation deduction claimed on that property.
Note: If property on which the investment credit, retail enterprise
credit, or research and development credit was taken on Form IT-212,
Investment Credit, is disposed of or removed from qualified use before
its useful life or specified holding period ends, the difference between
the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added
to your income tax in the year of disposition. See Form IT-212 and its
instructions for more information and to calculate the amount.
Column C – Enter the method used to dispose of the property.
Disposition includes, but is not limited to, sale, exchange, transfer, and
obsolescence.
Column D – Enter the total NYS depreciation deduction you claimed on
the property you disposed of.
Column E – Enter the total federal depreciation deduction you claimed
on your federal return for the disposition of your property.
