    New Deck Tax Question

    I just had my old deck torn down because of structural damage, (35 yrs old) and a new one built. The deck is attached to my 2nd emergency exit. How do I claim this in taxes?

    I assume your deck is used by the daycare children and personally. Therefore, multiply the total cost of the teardown of the old deck and the new deck by your time-space % and depreciate the result over 39 years on Form 4562.
