I had $5420.00 in home improvements, are these not deductible?

If these home improvements were for your personal residence then most likely they are not deductible.  There are exceptions for improvements for medical conditions specifically stated by a doctor, however, they are hard to take as you must take the cost you spent minus the amount the improvement raised the value of your home. Then only the remainder can be an itemized deduction subject to another haircut. So this deduction is hard to get.
