OIH and exterior paint

[Catherine]

Client has office in home and takes OIH expenses and documents everything.  This year, had the exterior painted.  Obviously not a one-year write off but neither is it 39 years 'cuz paint just don't last that long.  What do I do.

Again; brain is NOT working today.  TIA!

Indirect maintenance and repairs.  Take total amount.

PAINTING EXCEPT for new construction is always a current year write off
