Definitely not questioning Bill the Tax Guy, just the logic of a deprecation timeline that clearly outlives the item being deprecated. Though your input adds light that makes some sort of sense, especially the bit about retiring said item and collecting the remaining value at that time, and I appreciate it.
The home housing my home office received a new roof & hvac this year, neither of which will last 39 years. Home office is 12% of home & then stretch those values out over this 39-year timeline and, well, my total tax benefit from this $$$$$ investment was a whopping $27... le sigh.
