I've owned a rental house for 6 years. I can't deduct losses this year because my adjusted gross income is over the limit. Do I HAVE depreciate now? Is it better to wait?

I have a rental house I've depreciated for many years. This year I am over the adjusted income limits. Therefore I get no benefit from deducting expenses like depreciation. Do I HAVE to depreciate this year? Is it better to not depreciate this year so when I sell in a few years?

Depreciation is a requirement Not an option .

The passive loss will be carried forward.
