The taxpayer shall—

174(a)(2)(A) 

Charge such expenditures to capital account, and

174(a)(2)(B) 

Be allowed an amortization deduction of such expenditures ratably over the
5-year period (15-year period in the case of any specified research or

expenditures are paid or incurred is disposed, retired, or abandoned during the
period during which such expenditures are allowed as an amortization deduction
under this section, no deduction shall be allowed with respect to such
expenditures on account of such disposition, retirement, or abandonment and such
amortization deduction shall continue with respect to such expenditures.
