T&S purchased residence for $300,000. T died many years later. New stepped up basis (including spouse's portion) for residence is $700,000. S wants to rent residence. Would the basis for depreciation of the rental house be the $700,000? If so, do you know a good site for reference? Thanks!

Assuming the step-up was done correctly, the basis for depreciation would be the lesser of $700K or FMV (after allocating a portion to land, of course.)
See IRS Pub 551 for "Property Changed to Business or Rental Use".
