I have a client who purchased a rental property in June 1998. In August 2000, it was removed from service as a rental property and used for personal use. (Client's child lived in it while attending school.) In February 2005, it was again placed into service as a rental property. For June 1998 through August 2000 the depreciation is obvious. In 2000, when the property is removed from service, depreciation can no longer be taken. But when the property is re-placed into service in February 2005, how do we depreciate (i.e. year 3 or year 7)? It would seem to me that we should continue in year 3. Anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks.
