    What is restaurant property?

    2009 Client purchase house, rented it to individual who lived in the house and ran a restaurant in part of it. Could that property have been "qualified restaurant property" and depreciated for 15 years, and then qualify for the 50% special allow?

    TTB, page 9-18 says qualified restaurant property is property where more than 50% of the building's square footage must be devoted to preparation of, and seating for, on-premises consumption of prepared meals.

    That would eliminate catering services or take-out services where there is no seating for customers to sit down and eat the meal at the restaurant. It also eliminates buildings where 50% or more of the square footage is used for something other than the restaurant, such as the taxpayer's residence or home office.
