Would I use a private CPA or Intuit to complete my taxes this coming year for selling my bitcoin and selling a house at a loss. Can I write off the loss of the repairs I did to my house within 3 years of owning it?
Great question and thanks for reaching out,

A loss on the sale of a personal residence is considered a nondeductible personal expense. You can only deduct losses on the sale of property used for business or investment purposes. The only way you can obtain a deduction if you sell your home at a loss is to convert it to a rental property before you sell it. One item to note is repairs may be added to the basis of the house depending on the the nature of the repairs: new roof, wiring improvements, or updated plumbing come to mind. But increasing the basis would only add to the loss on the house.
