Poly B replace for rental

[Paul Scammacca]

Hi All

Tax / IRS folks please give ADVICE.  I have rental MH that has Poly B plumbing and is out of code (cant sell it as is wont finance) that caused some wood damage on the floor. Plan to keep but can I expense the cost to replace the flooring as a repair ( I am doing the entire floor) and replacing about 10 sheets of wood from water damage?  I want to expense it as a "repair" not an improvement (all in 1 year vs the 27.5).................thoughts??
