Part II - Special election deduction and instructions: 
Enter the amounts shown on your 2018 IA 4562A Part IV, lines 4a-4e in the appropriate boxes in the row labeled “2018 special election 
deduction”. The amount you enter in each box in this row should be the same. If you did not make the special election in 2018, each box 
should show 0. The amount entered in column f (2024) for this line must be 0. 
Enter the amounts shown on your 2019 IA 4562A Part IV, lines 4a-4e in the appropriate boxes in the row labeled “2019 special election 
deduction”. The amount you enter in each box in this row should be the same. If you did not make the special election in 2019, each box 
should show 0. The amount entered in column a (2019) for this line must be 0. 
Add the 2018 and 2019 amounts for each column and enter the result in the “Total” box for that column. This row shows the total special 
election deduction amount you may claim for each tax year. Enter this amount on IA 4562A Part I, column H, in the applicable tax year. In 
column A for that row write “Special Election”, in column B write the beginning or ending date of your 2020 tax year, leave columns C through 
G for that row blank, and then follow all IA 4562A instructions, including the worksheet for column H on page 2.

Example: XYZ, an eligible taxpayer, computed an excess section 179 expense of $100,000 for tax year 2018 on 2018 IA 4562A, Part IV, line 
3. XYZ properly claimed the special election deduction, so XYZ must enter $20,000 ($100,000 x .20) in columns a through e of the first row
(2018 special election deduction) of the table above. For tax year 2019, XYZ computed an excess section 179 expense of $250,000 on 2019 IA
4562A, Part IV, line 3. XYZ properly claimed the special election deduction, so XYZ must enter $50,000 ($250,000 x .20) in columns b through
f of the second row (2019 special election deduction) of the table above. To compute the special election deduction allowable in 2019 XYZ will
enter the total shown for column a ($20,000) of the table above on the 2019 IA 4562A Part I, column H, writing “Special Election” in column A
for that row, writing the beginning or ending date of XYZ’s 2019 tax year in column B, and leaving columns C through G for that row blank. For
tax year 2020 XYZ’s special election deduction will be the total for column b ($70,000) of the table above.
