Yes, on a rental home.

 

New windows will be entered as an asset under Residential real property and depreciated over 27.5 years (as they are part of the structure of the home).

 

However, if they cost $2,500 or less, they can be expensed under the de minimis safe harbor election. 

 

Please read this TurboTax Help article on the de minimis safe harbor election and how to claim it in TurboTax.
