MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system. It is the current system allowed in the United States to calculate tax deductions on account of depreciation for depreciable assets (other than intangible assets). IRS Form 4562 is used to claim depreciation deduction.

It allows a larger deduction in early years and lower deductions in later years when compared to the straight-line method.

There are two sub-system of MACRS: the general depreciation system (GDS) and alternate depreciation system (ADS). GDS is the most relevant and is used for most assets.
