@max now that you've got my previous post in this thread, I"m not 100% sure, but I "think" that whatever depreciation was remaining to be taken on the asset after it was removed from service because it broke, or was thrown away, can be deducted as a miscellaneous rental expense on the 2021 tax return. Take note that your reason for disposition of the asset has to be something like lost, stolen, disposed of, etc. In other words, you did not remove it for personal use, give it away as a gift, sell it to a scrap yard, or trade it for any type of compensation in return.
