The timber depletion allowance is a tax deduction that allows timber owners to account for the reduction in value of their timber resources as it is harvested. It is designed to encourage sustainable forestry practices by providing a tax benefit for the depletion of timber resources over time.

Where on a personal tax return does s deduction for depletion get claimed?

Well, it would be sort of complex, generally part of a Schedule C calulation, but maybe elsewhere if the allied income is coming on a K1 or 1065. You would most likely want to align it to the income it reduces. And it depends if it oil & gas or timber. All exhaustible natural deposits and timber qualify for deduction of a reasonable allowance for depletion based on the taxpayer's cost or other basis of the resources—cost depletion. For mines and certain interests in oil or gas wells, the depletion deductions may be computed as a specified percentage of gross income if that is greater than cost depletion. A taxpayer can claim percentage depletion on one property and cost depletion on another, or claim, on the same property, cost depletion for one year and percentage for another. Where the property is entitled to either cost or percentage depletion, the allowable deduction is the greater of the two. (Code Sec. 613) Percentage depletion for oil and gas wells (except for gas from certain domestic geothermal deposits or geopressured brine) is limited to “independent producers and royalty owners,”. The allowable deduction is never less than cost depletion. (Code Sec. 611, Code Sec. 612, Code Sec. 613) There's no official form for computing depletion, but Form T must be attached to the income tax return if a deduction for depletion of timber is taken. The basis of the property must be reduced by the depletion deduction allowed or allowable, whichever is larger. A taxpayer may take a depletion deduction only if he owns an “economic interest” in the mineral deposit or the timber. Owners of an economic interest include: (1) owner-operators; (2) lessors and lessees, even where the lessee has an economic interest under a lease terminable without cause on short notice; (3) owner of a royalty interest, or retained net profits interest; and (4) owners of a production payment to the extent it isn't treated as a mortgage loan. (Reg § 1.611-1(b))
