If I've had a residential rental property for the past 7 years but haven't claimed a depreciation expense my returns, how should I handle it? Thanks

That is the correct form, but taxpayers preparing the form do not need to have a preparer other than the taxpayer sign it if the form was self-prepared as another poster indicated in this thread.

@tagteam , correct  and agreed .  It would be inconceivable  that a taxpayer  would be required the services of "another" except  in case of arguing before a court ( and even there  it is with some provisos. )
