Building an investment prop. Haven't broken ground, but have significant expenses paid in 2022. Building permit, septic design, building design, soils,ect. Can I deduct?

Don't know if I can count these as expenses now, or if they wrap into the whole project and depreciated once complete.  Thanks!!

Yes, construction costs can be added to the Property Cost Basis and depreciated once complete. 

 

If you have a construction loan, however, you can deduct the interest as an Investment Interest Expense on Schedule A.

 

Here's more info on Construction Costs.
