Which of the following is NOT true about the MACRS depreciation system?
A. Residential rental buildings are depreciated over 27.5 years straight-line.
B. MACRS uses a half-year convention method
C. Commercial real estate buildings are depreciated over 39 years straight-line.
D. MACRS depreciation is no longer used for tax returns.
I compute the math as directed. First I take the initial cost of the land and add it to the short-term note. Then, I add the legal fees, delinquent taxes, and demolition costs of the building. I then deduct the amount received from selling the salvage materials. I don't include the cost paid to the contractor. That cost is assigned to the new warehouse. The answers I keep coming up with says incorrect.
