To enter your rental improvements, simply follow the directions to enter your rental income and expenses. At some point you'll come across the Rental Summary screen. Select Start next to Asset/Depreciation and follow the onscreen instructions. We'll figure out which depreciation method works best in your favor.
Note: Although it doesn't seem logical, refinance fees and mortgage points are also entered in the Assets/Depreciation section. The IRS considers these amortizable intangibles and accounting rules dictate that those are to be depreciated instead of deducted as an expense.
You may also qualify to expense the asset in the current year as section 179 deductions:
To qualify for a Section 179 deduction, the asset must be:
- Tangible (you're able to touch it, which excludes intangible assets like patents or copyrights)
- Purchased (not leased) for business use
- Used more than 50% in your business
- Placed in service (purchased, acquired, or converted to business use) during the current tax year
- Acquired from a nonrelated party
