Investors & landlords

Rental placed in Service 9/20/2021. Basis for depreciation 171,000.

2021 depreciation calculated at $1500

However, because of my personal use days the actual amount of depreciation taken on my Schedule E was $450 (expenses limited to income).


 

Let's back up a little bit ... did you use the home for personal use AFTER you placed it in service on 9/20/21?  

 

If you did NOT use it after 9/20/21, you should NOT have entered any personal days.  *IF* that is the case, your 2021 return is wrong and should be amended (you should have claimed $1500 in depreciation, and possibly some other adjustments).

 

If you did use it after 9/20/21 and that is why it was limited to $450, I agree with the other comments.
