In this brief instructional video, the speaker presents a four‑question checklist to help painting business owners decide whether a property or asset can be depreciated for tax purposes. The questions are: (1) Do you own the property? (2) Is the property used in a business to generate income? (3) Does the property have a determinable useful life? and (4) Is that useful life longer than one year? A "yes" answer to all four indicates the asset is likely eligible for depreciation.

To know if something is going to be depreciated or not, there's pretty much like 4 questions. And if you answer yes to all these questions, then it's probably something that's going to be depreciated. First thing is, is do you own the property? Second question is, is the property being used in a business to produce income? Third question is, does the property have a determinable useful life? And then is that useful life more than 1 year?
