So, I had a client sell a rental property and 1031 exchanged into 4 DSTs. The original property had a depreciable basis of $310K and $120K of that had been taken by the time of the 1031 exchange. The leftover $190K basis I have prorated ($65K, $25K, $62K, and $38K) for each property according to the % of the purchase price listed by the 1031 exchange company. My understanding is that I'm supposed to continue the depreciation schedule. However, 2 of the DSTs have provided a cost segregation study and 2 did not. Can I just continue the straight line depreciation on all 4 DSTs? Do I have to use the cost segregations studies when they are provided or can I ignore them? If I can continue the straight line depreciation from the relinquished property, what year am I starting from? The relinquished property had 16 years of depreciation left.
I greatly appreciate your time and advice!
