Deductions & credits

Are you trying to claim the Home Energy Credit and a home office deduction for the same HVAC system replacement?

 

If so, no you cannot claim the energy credit and then list the replacement as a repair under home office.

 

If you were not taking the credit, you still could not list the replacement as a repair.  The replacement of the HVAC system would be an asset and depreciated. 

Repairs and maintenance are not the same as replacements.
