Furniture and fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture and fixtures and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives that range from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related leases.
Although you can't deduct home improvements, it is possible to depreciate them. This means that you deduct the cost over several years--anywhere from three to 27.5 years. To qualify to depreciate home improvement costs, you must use a portion of your home other than as a personal residence.
