    What Depreciation Method should I use for Bathroom remodel in Rental Property?

    Sorry if it's a dumb question.... However I believe it's MACRS.
    I'm not sure how many years to depreciate over?
    And if I should depreciate each bathroom fixture, such as the vanity, toilet and bathtub? Or the entire remodel, which included walls and doors.
    Thank you in advance for any input and help.

    Multiple optiions

    If you depreciate the entire cost it is 27.5 MACRS.
    If you do a cost segregation then you could depreciate the fixtures over 5 years and the rest over 27.5 years.

        I would depreciate it as as restoration over 27 1/2 years.

          Me, too. It sounds like a complete bathroom remodel/improvement.
