Capital improvements that add to the value of your rental property, prolong its life, or adapt it to new uses must be depreciated over a period of time rather than deducted as a current-year expense.    Examples

 

To enter your rental improvements, simply follow the directions to enter your rental income and expenses. At some point you'll come across the Here's [your property's] rental property info screen. Under Expenses / Assets (Depreciation), select Add expense or asset and follow the onscreen instructions.
