As LeonardS said, improvements increase your cost basis in the property and should be entered as a new Asset for Depreciation. However, you would not add the asset until it was placed in service. In your example, renovations begun in 2021, but not finished until 2022 would be added on your 2022 return. This additional basis would reduce any capital gain from the sale of the property.
