If the tax preparer did not prepare last year's tax return, they MIGHT also need a list of all depreciable assets from prior years, along with the date each asset was "placed in service" and the Basis (usually the cost).

Ideally, that information should be on a worksheet with the previous tax return, but sometimes it is not included, in which case they may need the information about the depreciable assets from you.
