If I used the money from my 401K for home improvement can I deduct it from my taxes?

posted

No. Home improvements to your own home are not deductible; money you took from your retirement account is taxable. If you took money out of the 401k in 2020 you will soon receive a 1099R that must be entered on your tax return.

To enter your retirement income, Go to Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA 401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
