Getting a Lease
If you get a lease for business property, you recover the cost by
amortizing it over the term of the lease. The term of the lease for
amortization purposes generally includes all renewal options (and any
other period for which you and the lessor reasonably expect the lease
to be renewed). However, renewal periods are not included if 75% or
more of the cost of getting the lease is for the term of the lease
remaining on the acquisition date (not including any period for which
you may choose to renew, extend, or continue the lease).
Enter your deduction in Part VI of Form 4562 if you must file that
form, or on the appropriate line of your tax return.
