I stepped through the screens and see where I can put deductions for home additions and permanent improvement.
If more folks would use the program the way it's designed and intended to be used, *and* actually read each screen in it's entirety, a lot of questions asked here would not need to be asked.
I heard that the cost of staging home for sale is also deductible, if so, where can I enter it?
Staging costs are part of your sales expenses for the property. You just include them in your total sales expenses.
You might want to see IRS Pub 523 page 16 at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf. It doesn't break things down for you in detail though. Now while the first paragraph under "Reporting Deductions Related to Your Home Sale" may seem contradictory, it's not. There is a difference between "deductions" and "selling expenses".
