Can home improvement receipts be claimed if they are in my father's name? The check receipts are in my name and the home is in my name. I paid for the improvements.

Home improvements and repairs are not deductible on your federal return. Save those receipts for your records for someday when you sell the house.

When you make a home improvement, such as installing central air conditioning or replacing the roof, you can't deduct the cost in the year you spend the money. But, if you keep track of those expenses, they may help you reduce your taxes in the year you sell your house.
