No it adds to your basis in the house so when you sell it you add the construction costs to the original cost of the house so you show less gain.

Any improvement to real estate is added value and is considered to increase your cost basis for the property. When selling the property this increased cost basis will help shelter your taxes due, especially on an investment property. On your personal home you shouldn't worry about ever paying taxes until you purchase and sell your final home, as, you have two years to purchase another primary home for the same or more value, which eliminates taxes. You can only do this every two years. Eventually, you will have one last house and capital gains will enter into the picture or the property will be inherited by your family.

No writeoff on income tax. It can be added to the cost basis of your house when you sell it, but only then.

not unless it was for a dissabled person and maybe not even then if it adds value to the home.

If you get a home improvement loan you may be able to deduct the intrest you pay on it, otherwise, no help at all.
