Almanacers,

A client has a C corp. He built a office for his business on the land of his principal residence. Here are my questions:

1) He probaby paid about 8 checks during 2008 to the contractor building the office. Do I need to capitalize each of those payments or just show the whole amount as an asset?

2) Is he allowed to show this as a building asset on his C corp?

Please advise.

Thanks.
