For the necessary tables to find the depreciation deduction, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 946: How to Depreciate Property. MACRS is Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Under MACRS, residential rental property uses the General Depreciation System (GDS) depreciation with the Mid-Month Convention and Straight Line Method.

Under Mid-Month Convention, all property placed in service is treated as though it had been placed in service at the mid-point (halfway through) the month.

In the Publication 946 Appendix, go to Table A-6: Residential Rental Property Mid-Month Convention Straight Line - 27.5 Years. The percentage in the first year for property placed in service in August is 1.364 percent. The deduction for the first year is $500,000 multiplied by 1.364 percent and then multiplied by 4.5 (number of months in service: 4 months plus 1/2 of August) and divided by 12 (total months of the year).

The deduction is $2558.
