If I buy a house and use as long term rental, take bonus depreciation. But after a year use it as airbnb. What will be the tax implications? Since it is no longer used as a long term rental, do I need to pay depreciation recaptur.

 Yes - there are limits but you likely won't hit them. To piggyback off what Ashish said, the limits are. For 2024, the threshold amount is $305,000 ($610,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return). These amounts are indexed for inflation. This is per the 2024 instructions of form 461.


 Thank you Aaron. That's very helpful. Looks like that the limit this year is $610,000 for joint filers. But any depreciation amount beyond that can be carried over to future years.

Thanks. My wife will become REPS. Anybody knows the answer to my question?

I purchased a fourplex this year. I plan to rent out two units as short term Airbnb, the other two for long term rentals. Can I take bonus depreciation on the entire property, or I can only bonus depreciate the two long term units? I want to use the bonus depreciation to offset my W2 income as a real estate professional. Thanks in advance.

If I purchase two rental properties this year. I materially participate in one, and nearly completely hands off the other to a property management company. Can I elect to combine these two and take bonus bonus deprecations on both if I can achieve real estate professional status on the property that I manage myself? thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if I can do a cost seg and use bonus depreciation on a short term rental property to offset my w2 income, if I don’t have real estate professional status?
