A system for determining the useful life of different kinds of assets that the IRS uses in determining depreciation. This is used in turn to determine the taxation for different assets. See also: Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System.

asset depreciation range (ADR)

An elective depreciation method allowed by the IRS after 1970 and before 1981.It had over 100 classes of property from which to choose appropriate depreciation periods.The entire system was a hotbed of taxpayer versus IRS controversy,so it was replaced by the ACRS system in 1981,and then by the MACRS in 1987.One still encounters the ADR in literature,but it no longer exists.

51) In 1971, the Department of Treasury adopted the Asset Depreciation Range System (ADR) that allowed firms to depreciate their assets over a period that was twenty percent shorter than the 1962 guidelines.
It is designed as a summary and working handbook for the three main depreciation-related revenue systems currently in use: the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS); the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS); and the Asset Depreciation Range (ADR).
The depreciation discussion covers legislation enacted since 1913 and also refers to early Treasury Regulations, "Bulletin F" as issued in 1931 and revised in 1934, the Treasury guideline depreciation rules that were issued in 1962, and the 1971 Asset Depreciation Range system, which Congress subsequently authorized by the 1971 tax act.
