mrs_trick_shot | Can remodeling be claimed on taxes? |
I am in the process of remodeling my rental apartment and I am wondering if the remodeling costs can be claimed on my income taxes for a refund |

If you're renting out the property, repairs can be deducted from your taxes. Improvements are added to the basis of the property. Definitions of repairs vs. improvements for rental property are in IRS Publication 17, available at irs.gov. |

Remodeling can be claimed on your income tax if it was a medical necessity; such as: bathrooms, ramps, chair lifts, furnace/air conditioning for breathing problems, remodeling kitchen/bathroom for wheelchair access, etc. Anything that would better accomodate an ill or handicapped person should be tax deductible. |

We were told that you can only claim remodeling costs when you sell your house. |

Improvements are used against Capital Gains upon the sale of your home. Save all your receipts, the day will come when you will make a profit and you can deduct the improvement costs. |

You will not get a refund of the costs, only a deduction in your tax liability when you sell it. |

If your renting, no. If you own it you can claim a deduction if you upgrade for energy efficiency, alternative power or handicapp access. |

DEFINATELY!!! While I would usually suggest that you file your own taxes, if this is the first time go to a tax professional the first year so you can copy the process in the future. It will be well worth the money because you can claim not only your remodeling expense (labor, supplies, etc.), but you can claim the professional services of the tax professional. You can also claim the time that the unit remained unrented. |

Not to be used as a substitute for legal advice.
Remodeling or capital improvements increase your basis and cannot be claimed on your income taxes for a refund. Repairs however, can be claimed. The IRS has very strict rules as to what constitutes an improvement vs. a repair. |
