as 30 percent five year property, 10 percent fifteen-year property, and 60 percent residential property. These percentages are just guesses&#8211;though also actual percentages we&#8217;ve seen in real-life studies.<\/p>\n<p>Cost segregation engineers may alternatively assume a short-term-rental is not residental property but rather nonresidential. So, like a hotel. In that situation, you might use a different set of inputs. For example, .15 for the five-year property, .3 for the fifteen year property, and .55 for the nonresidential property. These would also be examples of real numbers we&#8217;ve seen on real studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The actual percentage allocations depend on the property. Thus, use my examples for seeing how this works. Not for preparing an actual tax return.<\/p>\n<p>The bonus depreciation percentage equaled .6, or 60% for 2024. In 2025, the percentage dropped to .4, or 40%. for property placed into service <em>after <\/em>December 31, 2024 but <em>before <\/em>January 19, 2025. Then, the Big Beautiful Tax Bill bumped the percentage to 100% permanently for property placed into service on or after January 19, 2025.<\/p>\n<h2>Some Caveats and Qualifications<\/h2>\n<p>The short-term-rental depreciation deduction calculator simplifies some of the calculations. It assumes, for example, you use a mid-year convention for the five year and fifteen year property. That&#8217;s often the case. But may be overly optimistic if you buy a property late in a year.<\/p>\n<p>The calculator gives you a half year of depreciation on the real property for the first year. That will be close but probably a little too high or little too low in most cases. Depreciation of real property uses a mid-month convention and so looks the actual month you place a property into sevice. Thus, consider the depreciation numbers slightly rough for that first year. They should be close. But not perfect.<\/p>\n<p>And one final comment: The depreciation deduction calculator assumes the short-term rental property is in the United States. Not outside the county.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Resources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evergreensmallbusiness.com\/tax-strategy-tuesday-vacation-rental-property\/\">The Vacation Rental Tax Strategy<\/a> (A primer)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evergreensmallbusiness.com\/the-section-183-short-term-rental-problem\/\">The Section 183 Short-term Rental Problem<\/a> (How hobby loss rules can goof up your investment.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evergreensmallbusiness.com\/irs-short-term-rental-audits\/\">Surviving Short-term-rental IRS Audits<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A handful of times recently, prospective real estate investors have asked me about the depreciation deductions they can expect if they successfully setup a short-term rental.
