Deductions & credits

Thank you for your token. The calculation for the home you moved out of is $503 which is the correct number ($27,720 x 1.819%) because it was the month removed from service (slight error in reading the chart in my previous calculation). It's very important to answer 'Yes' for the screen 'Did You Stop Using This Asset in 2024?'

 

The second home office, shows a purchase date of September, however it also has an incorrect date (2017)  for 'Date I started using it in this business'.  If I change the date to say, October 1st, then the depreciation is correct. 

 

Also be sure to enter the correct land portion of the home cost for the second house as well. My depreciation figure assumes the entire cost is only for the house. The depreciation for the second house is $451 calculated using the cost entered times the 13.20% and then the chart for October in the first year of 0.535%. This makes the combined depreciation for the home office of $954. Next year, for only the second home office it will be $2,166. These figure assume you did not include any land cost (when entering 'Cost of entire home' in the new home office.

 

The tax assessment from the city or county will provide the land and building breakdown so that you can arrive at the correct percentage for land.
