Deductions & credits

No.  Repairs, fines, penalties, etc. are not deductible for personal property.  Personal property expenses are not tax deductible other than mortgage interest and property taxes when you itemize your return. 

 

If this was a business property, then yes, the repair fee/penalty from your energy company would be tax deductible.
