I began renting out my house on September 1, 2008. I have calculated the cost basis of the house as the price paid in 1983 plus improvements totaling $205,000, divided by 29.5 years. I have spent $7,700 on repairs and maintenance just before renting. How should I calculate the exact number of days from September 1 to December 31 for depreciation purposes? Can I deduct the entire $7,700 for 2008? For taxes, insurance, water, etc., should I prorate the monthly cost or deduct when actually paid? Additionally, if I use the Fair Market Value (FMV) as of the rental conversion date, how will the capital gains tax work if I sell the house for more than the FMV?
