Can I take depreciation for 27.5 years on the Airbnb apartment which is about 1/5 of the entire new house, in addition to the bonus depreciation for the furniture, appliances, etc.? What if the total real estate (Line 26 on Schedule E) results in a loss? What is the best alternative to Bonus Depreciation, Section 179? How do I spread the expense for furniture, appliances, etc. over more than one year? Can I use two different methods of depreciation for different items of furniture/appliances, i.e., bonus and general depreciation? What does Section I of Form 4562, Election under Section 179 mean? Do I have to fill it out for either Bonus or General Depreciation?
