I'm sorry if someone's already responded to this question: like everyone else, I'm waiting for the depreciation/amortization form on our rental properties to be out. I purchased a washing machine and dryer for my rental in 2025 and paid $1,995. I'm going to expense it for 2025 rather than depreciate it. I'm wondering is i t ok to just put it in "other expenses" rather than wait for the missing form from Turbo Tax?

thank you

It would be better to wait for the depreciation module in TurboTax, as you need to attach a De Minimis Safe Harbor election statement with your tax return to expense the asset properly. TurboTax will do that when you enter the equipment in the depreciation section.
