Thanks, Dan DietzI have not had issues adding back depreciation but you need to have the full tax return to add it back not just a K1 and sometimes the issue with multi member LLc’s is that you may or may not have access to the partnership return where all the depreciation is detailed, especially if you’re a passive partner.

Nearly $10k later for plumbing, plus more $ for access to plumbing, after all the plumbing was replaced in a 100 year old house (e.g. no access, lots of additions) all is well:)  But lesson learned, ask for dates of vacancy and date of Winterization, or look for the stickers in the house and ask the neighbors when the folks left.
