Can I take section 179 on an earthquake retrofit expense of $60k for a rental on schedule E ?

Residential or commercial rental?

What does an earthquake retrofit entail?

I do not think you can take Section 179 expense deduction for a rental property....

Should add residential real estate... But you should research it yourself just to be sure... Just my opinion
