Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Calculation of Adjusted basis in the home.

Depreciation expenses for Year 1 = $3,042

Depreciation expenses for Year 2 = $3,175

Total Depreciation cost = $3,042 + $3,175

Total Depreciation cost = $6,217

The adjusted basis must be reduced by the greater of the depreciation allowed ($3,042) or allowable ($6,217)

Adjusted basis in the home = Cost � Depreciation amount

Adjusted basis in the home = $500,000 � $6,217

Adjusted basis in the home = $497,783
