    Depreciation categories help

    I use Tax Act and I just want to double check which categories I should use for depreciation on form 4562. All items are used less than 50% business use. Thanks for your help!

    Windows and another home improvement: Nonresidential Real Property

    Laptop and iPad: Computer

    TV and Dehumidifier: The choices are as follows-
    Office Furniture & Fixtures
    Other Asset
    Non-Listed Property
    Listed Property

    Everything is correct. TV and dehumidifier should be listed as Office Furniture & Fixtures

      If Tax Act doesn't ask for my business percentage, then I need to calculate the percentage of business use and enter that amount instead of the whole amount, correct?

        Yes! This is a big problem with any tax software. It doesn't account for the fact that child care providers are not using business items 100% of the time in their business. So, for every shared expense you have, you must separately apply your time-space % before entering it into the software.
