How Real Estate Depreciation Works

Depreciation is one of the most powerful tax benefits of owning rental property. The IRS allows you to deduct the cost of a building (not land) over its useful life — 27.5 years for residential and 39 years for commercial property.

This is called straight-line depreciation because you take equal deductions each year. It's a "paper loss" — your property might be appreciating while you claim it's losing value. That phantom expense offsets rental income and reduces your tax bill.
