如果用折旧需要多少年? 第一年可以多折旧吗。 屋顶都是太旧了换的, 和出租房保险无关。

还有,像roof, fence和冰箱炉子这些折旧记录,如果卖房子的话,需要吐回给IRS吗?

如果roof是换(not repair),应该算作房屋成本,按27年折旧。

27.5年;需要回吐

折旧27.5年,需要depreciation recapture,但是换屋顶的成本还是算在房屋成本里面,从总增值里面减。

如果是按real estate professional报税的话,换roof成本应该可以一次性抵扣吧?

我自费换的成本价是市价的1/2, 打算以修理一次性减掉.

不能,REP仅仅是说每年passive loss能够给配偶的工资收入减税。

就是说换屋顶花了2万卖房子的时候房子涨了10万,可以减掉2万,变成涨8万?

1. Gain = Sales Proceed - Cost Basis. 
Cost Basis = purchase price + cost of purchase + all improvements
Sales Proceed = sale price - cost of sale. 

Therefore:

Gain = sale price - cost of sae - purchase price - cost of purchase - all improvements. 

This gain is subject to capital gain tax.  which is 0%, 15% or 20% depend on your total income that year.  Usually when you sold a home for $X00K, you would be in the 20% rate that year anyway.  

2.  Depreciation Basis

Depreciation Basis is the aquisition cost of a property.  Depreciation basis for a home is the value of the structure (not including land).    Depreciation basis for a new roof is the cost of replacment of the roof.  

Depreciation basis would not change once depreciation starts.  Therefore every year you would have the basis/depreciation schedule of years and have a constant deprecation, unless you added new property to depreciate that year. 

3.  Depreciation Schedule

A home strucuture (including a new roof) is 27.5 years straight line depreciation.  New applicances might be depreciated over 5 or 7 years, check IRS website: Therefore: 

4.  annual depreciation = strucutre value / 27.5 + new roof value / 27.5 + other new improvement or new appliance / (schedule of depreciation) 

5.  Depreciation recapture 

When you sell your house, other than calculating gains like in 1)  All the depreciation 4 you claimed every year have to be added up, e.g. 2020, $3500; 2021, $3500... $2024, $4000 (because new roof started another depreciation)....

and the depreciation recapture is taxed as your income rate, but no higher than 25%.
