Leaking Water Heater and Nonworking Water Well Pump replacements: Capital Improvement added to Basis, or Repair?
Selling inherited house, need to determine basis.
Several years ago, replaced a leaking hot water heater and at different time, water well pump that stopped working.
Do I add the cost of those replacement to my cost basis in the house to reduce capital gain?
Or are they considered a "repair" and not added to basis?
Researching on internet gives conflicting answers, some say capital improvement others repair.
Please advise.
Thanks!
