Self employed

I do see where AmeliesUncle has posted an IRS - Regulation §1.167(a)-4 where you could depreciate these assets. To claim, you will need to report the Airbnb like it was a business. 

  1. Go to federal>income and expenses>
  2. Self-Employment>Self-employment income and expenses
  3. Complete the profile that asks about your business
  4. Then there will be a screen where you will enter your self-employment income.
  5. After entering, you will start entering expenses into your program.
  6. If using Turbo Tax online, there is an asset section in the expense category. This is where you can enter your improvements as depreciable assets.
  7. if using the Turbo Tax Home and Business Software, There is a separate Business Asset section where you will enter this information. 
  8. Interviews from both products will reference improvements made, which will lead through the sections.
