Investors & landlords

renovations are capital expenditures which means they need to be deprecited over the life of the asset. generally this would be the same as rental realestate 27.5 years but shioould be listed separtely to the extent possibe becuse that way should you remove them any undeprecited balance can be expensed.  as to items you purchased separtely. deprecition srtrs 3/2023 when you put that ad out for rental

 

 

adding assets is done through the asset entry worksheets. 

for the building, the cost of te land must be segregated becuase it's not depreciable.

also note that state laws may also dictate what is part of the permanent real estate and what is personal property.  for example in my satte. a lamp that plugs into an outlet is personal property. a light fixture that is hard wired into the property's electrical system is real property. throw rugs are persoanl property tack down carpeting is real property. Most furniture would be personal property
