Upgrade My House, Then Write Off the Depreciated Value?
September 6th, 2009Am I allowed to upgrade my house, then use the depreciated value as a tax write-off when I rent it out later?
I own a duplex, and live in one half while the other half is rented out. The Bathrooms on each side need to be remodeled. I would like to both rooms the same, costing quite a bit per room. Do I need to enter this (using Turbo Tax) as a depreciated value each year? And can I claim ‘zero use’ for my Bathroom, then change it to 100% later?

1 Comment »Can I Deduct Any Rent Money?
May 30th, 2009I got laid off, I lost my house and now I’m renting an apartment. This might be a long shot but I’m just wondering if there is any tax deductions available for renters. Am I eligible to get tax deductions or any types of tax refund on the rent money that am paying? If so what % of it is refunded? Thanks in advance.
