De Minimis Safe Harbor with property removation
I renovated a rental property in 2022.
I have many expenses including services, appliances, supplies, etc. I did a few little things myself, and paid several different contractors to do things.
Without de minimis safe harbor, my understanding is that I would need to capitalize everything because, even though most of the things done would fall under maintenance by themselves, it was all done together and so is a major renovation. (total expenditure 20-25k)
Many of the expenses were under $2500, and in fact many were well under that. There were a few that were over.
My question is, would claiming de minimis safe harbor, allow me to expense every item/service that was under $2500, even though it was part of a larger renovation?
