Questions
Questions builders ask
- Do I have to amend old returns?
- No. When two or more returns are already filed, the depreciation you missed is taken all at once on this year's return. Your CPA files Form 3115 with it.
- What if only last year's return is filed?
- Then your CPA can usually amend that one return instead. The estimate says which applies when you pick the year.
- What does my CPA get?
- The study, a draft Form 3115 and the catch-up schedule (the 481(a) adjustment), plus the asset detail for the depreciation software.
- Does it work for homes I sold?
- No. Homes and lots you sell are inventory, which is never depreciated. Their value is in inventory cost rules and the energy credit for homes sold before July 1, 2026.
