Which Home Improvements are Tax Deductions?

When selling your home will home improvements you have made be a tax deduction?
Hi Im Judy Ballard with Illustrated Properties and Christies International Luxury Marketing Specialist.
If you have made substantial physical improvements to your home - even if you did them years before you started preparing your home for sale, you can add the cost to its tax basis.  This will reduce the amount of any taxable profit from the sale.
For tax purposes, a home improvement is any expense that adds to the value of your home.
Deductible home improvements include.
Replacing flooring
Installing new HVAC units
And Bathroom and Kitchen updates
Be sure to keep all records and receipts.
Your tax basis is the original purchase price of the home, including closing costs plus the costs of improvements you made to the home during ownership.
Deductible closing costs include points, prepaid interest and your share of the prorated property taxes.  Other seller costs that are deductible are realtor commission and costs incurred in preparing the home for sale.
Check with  your tax accountant to verify the deductions prior to selling.
And as always make it a great home buying or selling day.
