Qualified improvement property

15-year or expensed

Can You Write Off Qualified Improvement Property?

Short answer: Interior improvements to a commercial building, like walls, flooring, and lighting, are 15-year property eligible for 100% bonus depreciation or Section 179.

Enlargements, elevators, and structural framework don't qualify.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
