TV for a rental property

$300-$1,000

Can You Write Off TV for a Rental Property?

Short answer: Yes: a TV supplied to tenants or guests is deductible equipment.

Improvements that better, restore, or adapt the property are depreciated (27.5 years for residential buildings), though items under $2,500 can be expensed with the de minimis safe harbor.

Records to keep: Keep leases, receipts, a log of repairs vs improvements, mileage to the property, and closing statements.
