in the rental property section there should be a summary page so you can edit the rental dat for that property.

then as you ontinue you'll come to a rental summary page with a line for asset depreciation. click on  start or update on that line

The Safe Harbor Election for Small Taxpayers allows you to expense the cost of improvements up to two percent of the basis of your building but no more than $10,000. The balance of the cost for the new roof would be depreciated over the same class life as the building itself (27.5 years for residential rental properties).
