I'm a new landlord and have started to review my rental
income/expenses for the IRS and reading the IRS literature now.

Tax question:

I replaced the worn rug in the rental house. Does IRS think this is
an improvement or a repair? Can you tell me why you think your answer
is correct for the IRS. I'm inclined to think this is a repair since
the house had carpet in it already.

you can call them (wait until after tax season so you can get thru). but
since 25% of the answers are wrong, call them 4 times and take the matching
3. :-)
