How to include repair expenses on rental property as depreciation?

[MichaelL1]

If you did a major repair, you would not list it as an expense but would add it as an asset and then take deprciaiton.

For example say you repaired a roof for $2,000 you would expense it.

But say you replaced the roof for $25,000, then you would add the roof as an asset and take depreciation on it.
