Nowhere. repairs and improvements to your primary residence or 2nd home are not deductible. However, property improvements add to the cost basis of your house. But you don't report those anywhere. Those costs won't matter until the year one of three things happens in your life.
1) You sell the house
2) You convert the property to a rental
3) You die.

But, I understand that if you sell your home, you are allowed to deduct the cost of the home improvements effected in the home for the last 21 years. Can someone help me with a straight forward answer. Please... ?
