Hi, We had a contractor replace the roof on our house with energy efficient materials, can we claim those repairs?

No, you can't deduct repairs done to your primary residence.

Instead of being deducted, the cost of your new roof is added to your cost basis when you sell your home, thus reducing your capital gain at that time.

**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.

I live in IN. Was looking at replacing my HVAC system. Was wondering how tax credits would affect my return. If its worth the extra cost for the more efficient system.
