There is no federal deduction for replacing the septic system for your own home. Save the records for someday when you sell the house. If this is a rental property, the answer may be different.

The cost of the septic system would be an improvement. So if this is for a personal residence, not used as a rental, the cost would be added to the basis of the home when it is sold.
