Generally, home improvements aren't tax deductible, but they may change the amount of gain on the sale of your home.

There are two exceptions:

Improvements that qualify as medical expenses - this includes things like ramps, grab bars, and floor leveling that are needed to accommodate a disabled person living in the house. Following this link for more details.

Improvements that qualify for the Clean Energy Credit or the Residential Energy Credit. Follow this link for more.

Are Schedule E expenses commensurate with ownership percentage? Or based on how much an individual actually pays?
