If you have a depreciation schedule for this item then you would not need to answer yes to the "Special Handling" question.
The carpet would be 1245 property. Generally, 1245 property is known as “tangible” or “personal” property. 1245 tangible property assets are depreciated over shorter depreciable lives mandated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A few examples of 1245 property are: furniture, fixtures & equipment, carpet, decorative light fixtures, electrical costs that serve telephones and data outlets.
1250 Property is generally described as “real property,” and it has further been defined as “all depreciable property that is not 1245 property”. When the term real property is used, it generally means the structural components of a building including the exterior walls, windows, floors, stairs, elevators, doors, roof, fire protection systems, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems as well as other assets in the building that are permanent in nature.
