A rental property owner faces a $27,000 repair bill after a plumbing leak forces a complete bathroom renovation, water heater replacement, and structural repairs. Jeremy breaks down Treasury Decision 9636's framework for distinguishing between deductible repairs and capitalized improvements, using the three-part test of betterment, restoration, and adaptation. He also explains three valuable safe harbors including the de minimis election and routine maintenance provisions that can help property owners expense more costs immediately rather than depreciating them over time.
