I have a rental house that I keep for investment purposes. I had to replace an ancient non-complying septic tank with an expensive pump-up mound system. Is this considered an improvement to land in that it is depreciated over a period of 15 years?
Can I deduct improvement expenses made to a property that my parents put in my name thru a life estate?
Can I include expenses I paid for improving land somewhere in the other income portion so it goes against the total profit? I sold it and buyer purchased it outright.
If I claimed expenses or depreciates improvements on my rental, can I still deduct the sale tax paid on those expenses or improvements?
