For users who are looking for greater stability and support for older games, Windows XP may be the best operating system. Although the OS only supports DirectX 9, which sports significantly less impressive capabilities than DirectX 11, Windows XP is one of the most stable systems available.
You can depreciate your rental property if it meets all the following requirements: 1  You own the property. 2  You use the property in your business on income producing activity. 3  The property has a determinable useful life. 4  The property is expected to last more than 1 year.
But you can deduct, or subtract, your rental expenses -- the money you spent in your role as the person renting out the property -- from that rental income, reducing your tax obligation. Many expenses can be deducted in the year you spend the money, but depreciation is different.
