Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

§ 179 depreciation allows taxpayers to deduct the cost of certain assets from the income taxes as expenses. Since the taxpayer's taxable deductions after all other deductions was $5,000, then the maximum amount that the taxpayer can deduct through § 179 depreciation is $5,000. He cannot deduct more than his income.
