Can I write off a shed?

Personal use sheds can not be depreciated on taxes under IRS guidelines unless the shed is also used for business uses. If this is the case, the percent of time the asset was used for personal use must be deducted from the purchase price to arrive at the amount allowed for depreciation.

Step 3

Determine the depreciation useful life. This is determined based on the type of shed you have. If your shed is large enough to store a vehicle and has a drive of sorts leading up to it, it is classified as a garage for depreciation purposes and has a useful life of 25 years. If it is attached to a foundation, the foundation is classified as a capital asset and has to be depreciated separate from the shed. If the shed is used as a garden shed and is not a permanent structural building, meaning it could be moved if necessary, then the useful life is 15 years. If the shed is a permanent building used for a farming business, it would be a useful life of 20 years. The useful life is based on the purpose of the shed, and the permanency. To best determine the useful life, consult Publication 946 or an accountant.
