Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Carl Thanks for the rundown.  I didn't really understand depreciation recapture.  Your post has made me create some mock scenarios in Excel in which I sell the property 10 years down the line.

 

The depreciation recapture tax rate is going to be very high regardless of what I do now, but accelerating depreciation of cabinets is not helping my wallet.

 

B/c I am semi-retired and have only interest, dividends, and small rental profits (mandatory depreciation) I am in a very low bracket.  Increasing my expenses by depreciating cabinets now, and thereby decreasing my rental income is not really beneficial for me.

 

Thanks!!!
