There are two questions that you must ask yourself when determining if a home repair can be tax-deductible. Is the home used for personal use, or is the home leased to a tenant? Only property being used as a business (income property) can right-off “home” repairs. A home repair, in this case, would be considered an expense, and expenses can be put towards a deductible. Therefore, if your home is being rented annually with a contract or monthly via Airbnb, anytime there is a repair to be made due to wear and tear by the tenant’s use, home repairs can be tax-deductible. Was the work done on the home a repair or an improvement? A repair doesn’t add value to a home. A repair restores the value that was lost. An improvement on a home, a new pool, or rooftop, for example, gives greater value to the property. It’s important to save all invoices and receipts related to home improvements because if you decide to sell your home, you can take the total cost of improvements and subtract it from the sales price when calculating the taxes on the sale of your home.
