Explanation:
Usually amortization or depreciation is calculated over time, but in certain situations it is advantageous to post it as a one-time accounting event.

Example sentence(s):
  • Another change that the 'Economic Stimulus Act of 2008' brought to Section 179 is it offered a one-time “bonus first year depreciation” on qualifying equipment.
  • a highly profitable company looking to decrease their tax payments may list what should typically be an amortized expenditure as a one-time expense
