Ilene owns an unincorporated manufacturing business. In 2018, she purchases and places in service $2,536,000 of qualifying five-year equipment for use in her business. Her taxable income from the business before any depreciation deduction is $900,000. Ilene will elect out of bonus depreciation but plans to take the maximum allowable deduction under Sec. 179. Which of the following statements is

A) Ilene can deduct $1,000,000 as a Sec. 179 deduction in 2018, with no carryover to next year.
B) Ilene can deduct $964,000 as a Sec. 179 deduction in 2018, with no carryover to next year.
