Investors & landlords

Thank you @AmeliesUncle !

 

Now, I am confused as to how much I need to include in the 'Other expense' of Section 481(a) Adjustment.

 

Let's say my Cost Seg breakdown is as follow:

5 yr asset -> $20K

15 yr asset -> $6K

27.5 yr asset -> $150K after excluding land cost.

 

I will enter the following as depreciation for the tax return:

1. Depreciations:

5 yr -> cost basis $20K.   Current depreciation without bonus depreciation calculated by TTX, lets say $10K

15 yr -> cost basis $6K.  Current depreciation without bonus depreciation calculated by TTX, lets say $500

27.5 yr -> cost basis without land cost $150K.  Current depreciation without bonus depreciation calculated by TTX, let's say $5K.  

 

Let's say Form 3115 has the section 481a adjustment as $35K.   How do I calculate how much I need to fill out in the 'Other expense under 481a adjustment'? 

1. As it meaning the whole $35K or

2. Should I minus the 5 yr and 15 yr assets depreciation which were already calculated by TTX from the total $35K?  Meaning $35K - $10K - $500 = $24500? Or

3. Something else?
