The shed that was less than $2500 can be included as a business expense under the Safe Harbor election.
The other shed and the concrete do need to be depreciated as an Asset. Since this is not a common item being depreciated, TurboTax does not have an easy category for you to use to enter the information: You will need to enter the depreciation as follows when you have selected to enter an Asset:
- Choose the last option on the list, Intangibles, Other Property, then click Continue.
- On the next page titled, Tell Us a Little More, select Other asset type, then click Continue.
- Enter the detailed information about the asset: description, cost, date purchased or acquired. Click Continue.
- Continue with additional details on the next screen, then click Continue.
- Select the appropriate Asset Class, such as 15 years which includes 'roads' then click Continue.
- Choose the 150% Declining Balance depreciation method, then click Continue.
- Enter 15 years as the recovery period, then click Continue.
- Answer No to the question regarding Listed Property, then click Continue.
- Make your selection about spreading the deduction over several years, then click Continue.
- Finally, you will see an Asset Summary screen with the current year depreciation amount listed. There is also a check-box here to Show Details. This will open a full description for the asset so you can verify the information that you entered.
