Indiana Real Estate: My August 2026 Market Review

Real Estate Depreciation: Benefits and Tradeoffs

Real-estate depreciation can reduce taxable rental income without requiring the property owner to make a new cash payment in the year the deduction is claimed. This makes depreciation one of the most important federal tax deductions available to rental-property owners. However, depreciation is not simply “free money.” It reduces the property’s adjusted tax basis and can affect the amount and character of taxable gain when the property is eventually sold. Understanding both the current benefit and the future tradeoffs can help property owners maintain better records and make more informed tax and investment decisions. Federal tax scope: This article discusses general U.S. federal income-tax rules. State and local tax treatment may differ. Special federal rules can also apply to mixed-use property, property converted from personal use, property held through an entity, tax-exempt-use property and property required to use the Alternative Depreciation System.
