My house has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I've been renting out the master bedroom which has its own bathroom. In the other words, the rental area includes one bedroom and one bathroom. Should the percent for deduction be 2/7=28.6%?
If the 2nd bath is exclusive to the renter, you can (and should) include it in the percentage of rental space.
I just realized I should report depreciation which I didn't. I didn't want to recapture the depreciation at sale so I didn't report it. But apparently the depreciation will be recaptured not matter I report it or not :(
Correct. When you sell the property you are required to recapture all depreciation taken, or the depreciation you "should" have taken. So you lose either way.
Should I just report 2022's depreciation as part of the 2022's tax return, and amend the previous years' tax returns seperately?
Assuming 2021 was the first year you rented out the room/property, you should amend the 2021 tax return first, before you even start your 2022 tax return. That's the only way you can ensure the correct amount of "prior year's depreciation" is imported into the 2022 program. If you don't account for the prior years depreciation on your 2022 tax return, then your depreciation for 2022 will be wrong.
