I put a rental property in place in 2010, but had done quite a bit of improvements to the property before putting in service. I only put the cost of the unit on my depreciation schedule, and none of the improvements were recognized as an expense. I sold the property in 2019, can I claim the improvements as an increase to the basis at the time of the sale? These were all related to increasing the property's value (renovating interior, new appliances, etc.) that in hindsight I would think should be deducted.
Thanks!
