CARPET​: Carpets are typically depreciated over 5 years. This applies, however, only to carpets that are tacked down. If the carpet is glued down (perhaps in a basement) then it becomes “attached” to the property and must be depreciated over 27.5 years.   From Web;

Issue is as long as you are beyond the depreciated years than you don't have to recapture.
