Capital expenses on rental property incomeIf you have made repairs to your rental property, you must determine whether it is a capital or current expense.
We invite you to consult the CRA guide T4036 at the following link:
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/t4036.html
If you have determined that this is a capital expenditure, please follow these steps:1. On the "Left-side menu on the Interview tab", select the heading "Rental property income".
2. On this section, go to the sub-section entitled "CCA", which already contains the information on your building.
3. On the line for "Description and amount of capital additions", in the first field, enter the description of the item, then enter the amount of it.
4. On the line for "Application of the half-year rule to the current year's additions", select the option that corresponds to the situation.
5. If you do not wish to claim the CCA for this expense, go to the line "Limit to the CCA of this class" and enter $ 0.00, otherwise enter the amount of CCA you wish to claim that is subjected to the deduction maximum allowable.
This expense will be carried over by the program on page 3 of Form T776, specifically in Area C of this form, and the amount will be added in column 3 of Area A.
