Legal and closing fees. I couldn't read that Revenue Ruling without asking myself, "How many Poles does it take to deduct a new telephone pole?
But I still don't have a clear picture of what happened with your taxpayers. Were they the ones who installed the original tenant improvements? If so, have they been depreciating them? Is there basis left? And no, I'm not sure this matters. And of course, that Revenue Ruling is from , and some of the rules on tenant improvements have changed since then, haven't they?
Do Sections and A still apply? Thanks for the reply. So the taxpayer owns a commercial building. A new tenant just leased a floor. So the taxpayer demolished the old tenant improvement's floor. Yes, they were the ones who originally installed the tenant improvement. Yes, they have been depreciating it and there was some basis left. Yes, some of the rules have changed. I don't believe that A applies however because the demolition costs are related to the old asset.

Regards , Rana Atif. Good explanation. What if the land and building are under Investment property and part of the building demolished completely to construct a new one.
