How do I claim home repairs due to depreciation or damages requiring foundation repairs

[mdunbar961]

Can foundation damage repairs, resulting from street and drain work be deducted?

[DoninGA]

If this is a personal residence, not used as a rental or in a business, the repairs made to the residence are not deductible on a tax return.

[DavidD66]

If the home is your personal residence there is not deduction for repairs to your home, unless they were caused by something designated as a federal disaster.  If the damage was caused by road or sewer/storm work you may have some recourse against your city or county, but not on your tax return.
