I have a client that leases a building which he converted to a gym.  This is in the first year of his sole prop.  He had about $25k in construction costs for the conversion (i.e. moving electrical around, HAVC, building beams, installing lights, removing existing walls, new framing, adding shelves, etc.).  Do I depreciate these expenses using MACRS SL over 25  years?  What is the correct way to deduct these expenses?

Thank you!

Not 25 years. 39 or 15 years. Some parts may qualify for shorter lives. Some parts might be able to be expensed as repairs.
