Is there a way to see what business asset deprecation category an asset was first claimed as on previous business tax return?

Look for either the form 4562 in the year the item was placed in service OR any of the depreciation worksheets from that year forward.

You will not find the depreciation asset category on the tax form itself, just the amount. There is a depreciation worksheet that is included in TurboTax which is essential information so most tax preparers provide the information with the tax records.
