Im depreciating some improvements to my rental property but its giving me depreciation amounts that dont seem correct. New windows cost $6181, depreciation $309 depreciation. Rebuild burnt shed cost $7508, depreciation $375. new carpet cost $1100, depreciation $55. How long is tt going to depreciate these assets? they all say 5yrs, 200DB. But these amounts seem the will be depreciated forever. Are these amounts correct?

Not A Product Question

You placed most assets into service in October, November or December. That triggers a different rule and your first year will have low depreciation (5% is correct for a 5-year assets placed in service in the 4th quarter; next year will be 38%).

However, windows, and possibly the shed (depending on the details), are 27.5 year assets, not 5 years.
