Get a Tax Break on Your Home Remodeling Project

Completing major home remodeling or home improvement projects does more than make your home look better and increase the joy you get out of it. All of your hard work can bring on an added bonus: exemption from capital gains taxes when you sell your home.
 
According to IRS Publication #523, typical qualifying projects include:

  • Adding bedrooms, bathrooms, decks, garages, porches or patios onto your home
  • Interior upgrades such as wall-to-wall carpeting, flooring upgrades
  • New heating and/or air conditioning units
  • Exterior upgrades such as paving the driveway and fencing

Before you begin any project, make sure you talk to a tax professional or your accountant for more information. And remember to keep all receipts from material and labor purchases.
