| A client started a new lease on a piece of equipment at end of last year and it was treated as an operating lease by previous tax preparer. The lease technically qualifies as capital lease and while the taxpayer did not have profits for Sec. 179 they could have elected bonus depreciation on the equipment. My question is should I just leave as is with taxpayer deducting rental payments or do I have to do a change in accounting method, amended return, or some other way any of you may have corrected things like this in the past.
