Are Home Remodeling Costs Tax Deductible?

Many Manitowoc homeowners wonder if remodeling costs can be deducted from your taxes. In most cases the answer is no. If your home is only used as your personal residence, home improvement expenses are not tax deductible.

Home Remodeling Tax Benefits

However, home improvements including bathroom and kitchen remodeling do have a tax benefit. If you sell your home for more than you paid, the amount you spent on remodeling can help you pay less tax on your home sale profit.

Here’s how it works:

James buys a house for $200,000. He spends $10,000 remodeling the kitchen. This increases the tax basis of his home to $210,000. 20 years later he sells the house for $300,000. James subtracts his $210,000 basis from the $300,000 sale price and determines his gain from the home sale is $90,000. James only has to pay tax on $90,000 (assuming he doesn’t qualify for home sale tax exclusion).

Qualifying for Home Improvement Depreciation

Some homeowners are qualified to deduct the cost of home remodeling from their taxes. If you own and run a legitimate business and regularly use a certain part of your home only for this business you can qualify to deduct 100% of the cost of remodeling the business-centered part of your home.

Remodeling Cost vs. Value

Renovating your entire home, bathroom or fireplace isn’t just about recouping your investment amount by increasing the value of your home.

A well-planned remodeling project increases the square footage of your home you actually use and enjoy on a regular basis. Renovations can also improve the energy efficiency of your home, resulting in lower energy bills year round.

When improve the quality of the time you spend at home, you improve the quality of your life.
