Who needs to file Form 4562? You are only obligated to file Form 4562 if you're deducting a depreciable asset on your tax return. A depreciable asset is anything you buy for your business that you plan on using for more than one financial year. Generally, inventory doesn't count.

Assets such as buildings, machinery, equipment (tangible), or patents (intangible) qualify. Land cannot depreciate, and so it can not be reported on the form.

Depreciation is the recovery of the cost of the property over a number of years. You deduct a part of the cost every year until you fully recover its cost.

If you're still unsure what you can deduct, this doesn't include short-lived assets such as small office supply purchases or inventory, but rather assets that will have a multi-year life such as vehicles, property, and machines. Every year that you deduct depreciation of that asset, you're required to file Form 4562.
