Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If this is your personal residence, you can't deduct anything.  This is a capital improvement and adds to the cost basis of the home, which may reduce your capital gains when you sell, but is not deductible now.

 

If this is a rental property, this is treated as an improvement, which is added to your cost basis and then depreciated along with the rest of the property, as a rental expense, generally over 27.5 years.
