Does this qualify for 179 or bonus depreciation?

[Anonymous]

I bought a new stove and fridge on 6/21/2017 for my personal property. On 1/1/2022, I converted it into a rental. May I use section 179 to depreciate 100% of cost in 2022 or use bonus depreciation to depreciate 50% of cost in 2022?  Why do I get an error message saying only Schedule E activities identified as commercial rental property qualify for a section 179 deduction? Thank you.

Only certain property qualifies for Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation (the activity in which the property is used typically must rise to the level of a trade or business).

Appliances purchased over five years before conversion to rental use most likely have a rather low fair market value for depreciation purchases, regardless.
