Class life is the number of years over which an asset can be depreciated. The tax law has defined a specific class life for each type of asset. Real Property is 39 year property, office furniture is 7 year property and autos and trucks are 5 year property.
While real property is depreciated over 39 years (27.5 years if residential), personal property can most commonly be depreciated over 15, 7, or 5 years, depending on the specific asset class. Additionally, personal property may be eligible for additional first-year depreciation or bonus depreciation.
The asset classes described below are set forth in Rev. Proc. 87-56. 7 Asset class 00.11, Office Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, includes furniture and fixtures that are not a structural component of a building.
