No, you can not depreciate capital improvements made on your rental. The amount of the capital improvements are added to the adjusted cost basis for your rental. When you sell the rental you will use the adjusted cost basis to calculate any gain or loss you may have on the sale.

The capital improvements are not added to your tax returns, they are added to your adjusted cost basis records for your property and when you sell the property then you report the adl cost basis when you input the sale information
