dunno about that reply-- this is what I found.
When Is Tree Removal Tax-Deductible?
Residential
Most of the time, tree removal is considered to be a repair on the property. After all, it’s done for a broken tree or a tree that died as a result of a pest swarm gone wild. It can put a serious risk to your home and local residents. This is considered a home repair if you have personal property, which means it is usually tax-deductible for the place where you live.
On the other hand, it can also be considered home improvement. For the IRS, the definition of home improvement is an expense that can help add value to your home. So, if it was done to improve your landscape, then it is not considered to be a legitimate write-off. If you are clearing the tree away to add space for an add-on that you want to rent, it might be a write-off.
