        2022 Form IL-4562 Instructions

What’s New?
This form has been modified to include calculations for property placed in service after December 31, 2022, and before 
January 1, 2024, subject to 80 percent federal bonus depreciation.

General Information
What is the purpose of this form?
Form IL-4562, Special Depreciation, should be filed by taxpayers who file an income or replacement tax return and report 
special depreciation on their federal Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization, or Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses. 
The purpose of Form IL-4562 is to reverse the effects of the 30, 40, 50, 80, or 100 percent bonus depreciation allowed by 
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 168(k). 
Step 2 of this form figures your Illinois special depreciation addition as required by the Illinois Income Tax Act (IITA). When 
you sell or transfer property, this step also reverses the Illinois depreciation subtractions you claimed on Form IL-4562 in prior 
years. 
Step 3 of this form figures your Illinois depreciation subtraction as required by the IITA. When you sell or transfer property, this 
step also reverses the “bonus depreciation” add back you reported on any prior year Form IL-4562. 
If you filed more than one federal Form 4562, be sure to add the amounts from all federal Forms 4562 and enter the 
total amounts on this form.
Who must use Form IL-4562? 
You must use Form IL-4562 if you are filing an Illinois income or replacement tax return and you reported the special 
depreciation on federal Form 4562. Individuals who reported special depreciation on federal Form 2106 should also use 
Form IL-4562.
Unitary groups: If you are filing an Illinois combined return, complete one Form IL-4562 for the entire unitary business group.
If you receive any amount of depreciation additions or subtractions from 
  • a partnership or S corporation on Schedule K-1-P, Partner’s or Shareholder’s Share of Income, Deductions, 
    Credits, and Recapture, or
  • from a trust or estate on Schedule K-1-T, Beneficiary’s Share of Income and Deductions, do not include these 
    amounts on Form IL-4562. 
Should I round?
You must round the dollar amounts on Form IL-4562 to whole-dollar amounts. To do this, you should drop any amount less than 
50 cents and increase any amount of 50 cents or more to the next higher dollar.
When must I file this form?
You must file this form if you acquired new depreciable property after September 10, 2001, and you claimed additional first year 
depreciation of 30, 40, 50, 80, or 100  percent of the basis of that property on your federal return.

Specific Instructions
If you claimed 30, 50, 80, or 100 percent bonus depreciation on your 2022 federal return, follow the instructions beginning with 
Step 1 below.
If you claimed 40 percent bonus depreciation on your 2022 federal return, read the information below and follow the instructions 
beginning with Step 1 below.

If a specific line is not referenced, follow the instructions on the form. 

40 percent bonus depreciation instructions
An Illinois special depreciation addition must be reported in the same year in which you claimed a federal 40 percent bonus 
depreciation allowance for that property. However, because the IITA does not make a provision for property subject to the 
federal bonus depreciation rate of 40 percent, an Illinois subtraction modification cannot be claimed for the property until 
    • the asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, or 
    • the last taxable year that you claim federal depreciation on the property, 
whichever occurs first. You are required to report an Illinois special depreciation addition in the same year in which you claimed 
a federal special depreciation allowance for the property even though the subtraction modification will not apply until the last 
year of regular depreciation.
Forty percent bonus depreciation is reported
•   as an Illinois addition modification on Step 2, Lines 1 and 2, in the same year in which the amount was claimed as a 
    special depreciation allowance on your federal Form 4562 or 2106.
•   as an Illinois subtraction modification on Step 3, Line 12, in the last year of regular depreciation only. Do not report 40 
    percent bonus depreciation as a subtraction modification on Step 3, Line 12, before the last year of regular depreciation or 
    for any year on Step 3, Lines 5a through 11.

Step 1:  Provide the following information
Enter your name and entire Social Security number (SSN) or federal employer identification number (FEIN) as shown on your 
Illinois return. Failure to provide the entire SSN or FEIN will result in the delay of processing of your return. 

Step 2:  Figure your Illinois special depreciation addition
Do not use negative figures on this form.
Line 1 — Enter the total amount you claimed as special depreciation on your current year federal Form 4562, Lines 14 and 25, 
for property you acquired after September 10, 2001. This is the 30, 40, 50, 80, or 100 percent “bonus depreciation” you were 
allowed to claim on your federal return for this tax year. 
You are required to include amounts for any property subject to the 40 percent bonus depreciation in the same year in which 
you claimed federal special depreciation for the property even though the Illinois subtraction modification will not apply until the 
last year of regular depreciation.
Do not include any special depreciation on Line 1 
  •  for property that you sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of in this tax year, or
  •  that you claimed on Gulf Opportunity Zone or Liberty Zone property, or cellulosic plant property, reuse and recycling 
      property, disaster assistance property, or recovery assistance property.
Line 2 — Individuals only: You may have reported “bonus depreciation” on federal Form 2106. That form instructs you to 
enter IRC Section 179 deductions and special allowances. Depending on the type of expenses you are claiming, you will 
show these amounts on federal Form 2106, Lines 4 or 31, or both. Illinois Form IL-4562 requires you to report only the special 
depreciation allowance. 
Do not include any amount from federal Form 2106 that you reported on federal Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. 
Enter the total amount you claimed as special depreciation on your federal Form 2106, Lines 4 and 31, for property you 
acquired after September 10, 2001. This is the 30, 40, 50, 80, or 100 percent “bonus depreciation” you were allowed to claim 
on your federal return for this tax year. 
You are required to include amounts for any property subject to the 40 percent bonus depreciation in the same year in which 
you claimed federal special depreciation for the property even though the Illinois subtraction modification will not apply until the 
last year of regular depreciation.
Do not include any special depreciation on Line 2 
  •  for property that you sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of in this tax year, or
  •  that you claimed on Gulf Opportunity Zone or Liberty Zone property, or cellulosic plant property, reuse and recycling 
      property, disaster assistance property, or recovery assistance property.

Line 3 — Last year of regular depreciation: Line 3 allows you to claim the same total Illinois depreciation and federal 
depreciation over the period for which you can claim federal depreciation for an asset.
For assets that you claim 30, 50, or 80 percent bonus depreciation, you must reverse all the subtractions claimed for each 
asset if this is the final year for which you can claim regular federal depreciation because the asset  
• was sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of, or
• reached the end of its depreciable life.
For assets that you claim 100 percent bonus depreciation, you must reverse all the subtractions claimed for each asset if this 
is the final year for which you would have claimed regular federal depreciation had you elected not to claim bonus depreciation 
under IRC Section 168(k)(7) because the asset 
• was sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of, or 
• reached the end of its depreciable life.
Enter the total amount of all Illinois depreciation subtractions you claimed on this year and any prior year Forms IL-4562, 
Step 3, for these assets.

IL-4562 Instructions (R-03/23)                                                                                         Page 3 of 5

No subtraction is allowed on Lines 5a through 11 for 40 percent bonus depreciation for property placed in service in 
2022 because that deduction can only be claimed on Line 12 in the last year of regular depreciation. 
If this is the final year for which you can claim regular federal depreciation for an asset because the asset was sold, traded, 
abandoned, or otherwise disposed of or because it has reached the end of its depreciable life, do not include any regular 
depreciation claimed on that property on Lines 5a through 11.

100 percent bonus depreciation, enter the amount of federal depreciation you would have claimed for this taxable year had you 
made the election under IRC Section 168(k)(7).

asset if this is the final year for which you can claim regular federal depreciation because the asset  
•  was sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of or
•  reached the end of its depreciable life.
For assets that you elected 100 percent bonus depreciation, you must reverse all the additions claimed for each asset if this is 
the final year for which you would have claimed regular federal depreciation had you elected not to claim bonus depreciation 
under IRC Section 168(k)(7) because the asset 
•  was sold, traded, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of, or 
•  reached the end of its depreciable life.

A Special Note regarding Bonus Depreciation on Luxury Automobiles:
Federal income tax law imposes a “cap” on the depreciation allowed for a luxury automobile [IRC Section 280F(a)]. Pursuant 
to 280F(d)(7)(A), the IRS adjusts the “cap” yearly for inflation. In many cases, the “bonus depreciation” allowed by IRC Section 
168(k) will be greater than the “cap” (i.e., 100%, 80%, etc. federal bonus depreciation is greater than the yearly “cap”). In those 
cases, during the first year the property was acquired and placed in service and in years in which bonus depreciation is allowed 
federally, you are allowed bonus depreciation equal to the cap, and regular depreciation of zero.
Under Illinois law, if you claim a bonus depreciation on an asset on your federal return, you are required to add the bonus 
depreciation back to your Illinois net income. You are also allowed to subtract a percentage of regular depreciation on that 
asset, both in the year you claimed the bonus depreciation and in subsequent years. Therefore, if you claimed 30%, 50%, or 
80% bonus depreciation on a luxury automobile and the amount exceeded the cap, then no subtraction is allowed during the 
first year the property was acquired and placed in service because no regular depreciation is allowed federally. In subsequent 
tax years, for a luxury automobile which you claimed 30%, 50%, or 80% bonus depreciation, you will be allowed a subtraction 
equal to the percentage of the regular depreciation claimed on the automobile, even if that causes your total depreciation to 
exceed the cap. If you claimed 100% federal bonus depreciation on a luxury automobile and the amount exceeded the cap, 
then you are allowed a subtraction in the first year the property was acquired and placed in service, and in all subsequent tax 
years. This subtraction is equal to the amount which would have been allowed federally if bonus depreciation was not claimed, 
subject to the IRC Section 280F cap for luxury automobiles, even if that causes your total depreciation to exceed the cap.
When the vehicle is disposed of or at the end of its depreciable life, all of the Illinois additions and subtractions will be reversed 
so that you will receive the same total depreciation for Illinois purposes as you received for federal purposes over the life of the 
car.
