Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can follow the steps below with the help of the images already provided by @Critter-3.

 

  1. When you describe the asset you should select 'Intangibles, Other property
  2. On the next screen select 'Other Asset Type'
  3. Continue to enter your asset information.  
  4. When you get to the screen Asset Class you should select 5 year
  5. Then you will have the option to select straight line depreciation.

 

Keep in mind that the first year is a half year convention.

 

As noted above, you also have an opportunity to say it is an improvement to the property that would automatically select a 27.5 year recover period using straight line with a mid-month convention.
