Investors & landlords

Examples of personal use property are a home, a car and household furnishings.  See this IRS publication.

 

If the property has a business use, the property can be depreciated on your self-employment or rental tax return.

 

The basis of an asset is generally the cost of the asset but an adjusted basis would include the cost of improvements less any depreciation taken.
