- Which of the following statements with respect to the depreciation of property under MACRS is incorrect? Under the half-year convention, one-half year of depreciation is allowed in the year the property is placed in service. If a taxpayer elects to use the straight-line method of depreciation for property in the 5 -year class, all other 5 -year class property acquired during the year must also be depreciated using the straight-line method.

Real property acquired after 1986 must be depreciated using the straight-line method.
