Question

We bought 3 new exterior doors and a window. Labor and installation was included. Just wondering what I enter. Also half paid in 2016 and half in 2017.

    Purchased for what? Your primary residence? 2nd Home? Rental property? Your car?

    Then you have nothing to claim as a "deduction" per-se. All the expense does is add to the cost-basis of your property, which will not matter until one of three things happens.

     - You convert the property to a rental
     - You sell or otherwise dispose of the property
     - You die.

    Now for the windows, you "might" qualify for a home energy credit if the windows/door are of that type. That would be claimed under the deductions & credits tab in the Your Home section of the program.
