The question asked if I made improvements to a building i used for business, does my detached garage /workshop count? I am self employed

I am a self employed contractor and do a lot of work out of my detached garage, which I made improvements on to turn into a workshop. So, when it asks if I made improvements to a building for my business, would my garage/workshop count? thanks

Yes, it does count if you use it exclusively and regularly for your business.  The IRS does allow a separate structure that's not attached to your home for the deduction.
