I replaced the garage door, one exterior door and the primary access door on my rental property. What rate should I use to capitalize the cost?

I replaced the garage door, one exterior door and the primary access door on my rental property. What rate should I use to capitalize the cost?

In order to claim rental expenses, the expenditures should be current rather than capital. An expense that simply restores a property to its original condition is usually a current expense. For example, the cost of repairing wooden steps is a current expense. Conversely, the cost of a repair that improves a property beyond its original condition is probably a capital expense. You need to analyze whether the new hot water tank is better than the old one and is considered an improvement.
