Investors & landlords
Would you mind touching on how I'd go about getting the right Depreciation for 2023.
You really can't just "touch" on it.
With what is basically three separate rentals of a single structure, they're presently showing up in three separate columns on the SCH E. So long as you maintain three separate rentals year to year, there would be nothing to do or change with each passing year. Otherwise, the math is beyond the capability of the program to perform, requiring manual intervention on your part.
As it stands right now, you have three separate rental contracts for a single structure. Just because one contract ends doesn't mean that portion is no longer classified as rental property. That is, unless you decide to not rent it out anymore.
The only place I've ever personally seen, witnessed or been exposed to the setup you have, is in a college town where a rental property owner is renting rooms to multiple college students. If two students leave after the semester and go home for the summer while one remains, it doesn't change the fact that the entire property remains classified as a rental, so long as the landlord is still actively trying to rent it and doesn't utilize any of the space for personal use during the summer vacancy.
Maybe you're focused on renting to college students for all I know, and plan to continue that into the foreseeable future.
