    I have a client that owns a Condo that she rents.

    She received a capital assessment for building improvements and repairs of $81,000, payable over 3 years.

    Am I correct that this is capital improvement, added to basis, and depreciated.

    Thank you

    Capital assessments increase her basis in the condo.  they are generally used to fund major repairs.  It does not increase her basis for depreciation.
