If you want to take more than the $1500 safe
harbor home office deduction we’ll need to
depreciate the structure every year.
If you already have a depreciation schedule
make sure I have your last year’s tax return so I
can follow it. Otherwise, answer the following:
Date you purchased the property
Date you began using the home office
Purchase price or Fair Market Value on
the date it became a home office
(whichever is lower)
Value of the land*
*Only the structure is depreciated. You must
figure out the land value. You can do this by:
1. Finding it on the appraisal,
2. Getting an appraisal if you haven’t,
3. Looking at sales of comparable raw land in
your area,
4. Looking on the real estate assessment for
the property to figure out what the land portion
is on the property tax.
