Investors & landlords

I was able to add a roof to a residential rental property in TurboTax Self-Employed and the default was 27.5 years.

 

Even under 27.5 years, I will grant you that the depreciation expense allowed for the year is a low number compared to what would have been paid outright for a new roof. 

 

But this number is generated right out of the IRS depreciation tables.
