Default Basis reduction for 1/2 Investment Tax Credit

I am writing off an old asset that was capitalized in 1984,
back when the investment credit was calculated, and the
basis reduced by one-half the ITC. I am now writing the
asset off the books. Would it be correct to write off the
one-half basis adjustment against retained earnings and make
it an M-1 item? Or, can I take a loss for the remaining
basis?
