1．装修理的费用可以在今年的房租收入中减税吗？

No, you can only depreciate in #4S

 2．冰箱等大件费用也可以吗？

No, you can only depreciate in #4.  Because those so called expenses are not made solely for rental property and they are not made this year, you cannot deduct from the rental income this year.

 

3．我知道出租以来的HOA
月费可减。但一年前有一次大的Special
assessment for building repairs. 这个assessment 也可以报吗？

 

Yes, you can deduct from that year's taxable income. 

Sorry, expense occurred during your primary residence cannot be deductied from rental income.  I missed your words that "一年前有一次".  ANd I don't think you can depreciate it either, because it's "repair" not improvement. 

 

4．从买到修好装好，到入住一共花了 28 万，这是不是就是depreciable basis of the condo?

Depcreaiable basis = purchase price for condo + improvement cost
