I would treat this as a property that does not have a class life and has not been designated by law as being in any other class as a 7-yr property.

  1. Go to the assets section in your Schedule C.  Go through the questions 
  2. When it asks "describe this asset" check  Intangibles, Other property
  3. Tell us a little more Other Asset Type
  4. Tell Us About This Asset / Large Purchase  fill in the blanks
  5. Next screen is where you can indicate this is a new purchase and that you used it 100% for business. Record the date you started using it for your business
  6. Here you will enter this as a 7-yr property.  I have checked IRS sources to see if a storage shed is listed with its own depreciation schedule and recovery period.  It is not.  If you select the asset class link, it will instruct you to use the 7-yr class life for any property that does not have a class life and has not been designated by law as being in any other class.
