Yes. Very much so. It isn't that you can deduct equipment..it is (and was) that you can currently expense (rather than capitalize, and deduct through depreciation over years), up to an certain amount. That amount is being substantially increased.
The question is not whether the home was a primary residence, but whether the home was used for personal purposes. It doesn't matter if it was a primary residence, secondary residence, summer cottage, weekend retreat or whatever. If you used it for personal use, loss is not deductible. Since you say it was a rental property, it was not a personal use property. So you can take a capital loss if it applies. But in determining if you had a loss remember that you have to account for depreciation you took (or could have taken) when you owned it. If you failed to properly claim a capital loss in 2005, you need to hurry. The deadline for almost everyone to file an amended 2005 return and get a refund is April 15, 2009, which is about a week and a half from now. You cannot claim the original loss on your 2008 return. You have to file an amended 2005 return to do it.
