I can't say for sure if the BP calculator offers such a calculation as your tax situation impacts how the depreciation will effect your return.By bonus depreciation I'm assuming you're referring to doing a cost segregation, if this is the case you'll definitely want to review your tax return to determine if you can even take advantage of a cost segregation.

Congrats on the purchase in VA!
