Give a recapture example.
Someone who bought a 3M used airplane and received 80% Bonus Depreciation, was able to use 2.4M of the purchase toward decreasing their income in that year. According to the government, the airplane now has a value of 600k. If at some later date, they then sell the airplane for 2.6M, the government would come recapture taxes for the difference. 2M in this case. That value is taxed at a recapture rate, which is typically higher than the long term captial gains rate
Why is the use of the airplane (active/passive income) important?
The tax benefit only applies to the business it relates to.
If it’s a passive account to make money, your active business cannot take tax benefit for the asset, and vice versa.
