Explanation:

5 years ago you purchased a small apartment complex for $1 million. You borrowed $700,000 at 7% for 25 years with monthly payments. The original depreciable basis was $750,000 and you have used 27 1/2 years of straight line depreciation over the 5 year holding period. Assume no CAPX have been made since the property was acquired. If you sell the property today for $1,270,000 in a fully taxable sale. Over the entire five-year holding period, how much were your taxes from rental operations reduced by the annual depreciation deductions? Ignore the increased taxes due on sale.

Annual Depreciation  Deduction = $750,000 +(1/27.5) =$27,272.73

Total Depreciation over 5years = 5 x $272,272.73 = $136,364

Amount of tax saved from annual tax deduction =

Total tax depreciation claimed x ordinary income tax rate

= $136,364 x 33% = 45,000

Therefore the amount of tax saved from the annual tax depreciation = $45,000
