The October 31st Tax Deadline is fast-approaching. Find out how much in deductions you could be eligible to claim…for free!
Myth: There is no benefit in proceeding with a depreciation report if an investor purchases a second-hand or ‘older’ property after the recent changes to the depreciation laws.
Reality: These owners could be missing out on THOUSANDS of dollars in tax deductions…and it is worth checking.
If the property was built after 1987, the new owner is still entitled to claim a yearly deduction against the original structure of the premises. For a property built 20 years ago, there would still be 20 years’ worth of deductions available!
Often, there are still considerable deductions available even if the investment property was built before 1987 because the property may have been renovated and you will still be able to claim the previous renovation costs.
