Question

How does landlord of multiple properties enter section 179 (or bonus depreciation) expense?

Forum|Forum|5 years ago

I have 5 properties I own and manage and purchased a 6,000+ lb SUV and utility trailer in 2020 specifically in support of that business. I understand I can either take bonus depreciation or Section 179 to depreciate the entire expense in the year 2020. However, I can't figure out how to make that happen in TurboTax Premier. Please help...

Thanks!

Follow the steps below to get to the area you need. You will have to apply the questions to the vehicle.

Desk, bookcase, chair, file cabinet

Trailers and trailer-mounted containers

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure I entirely follow your instruction. Is this for TurboTax Premier?

Thanks again!

I have the same question as the OP. How do I depreciate a section 179 SUV over multiple rental properties? Thanks!
