Tax Deductions For Home Modifications
Financial incentives are available for modifying an existing home. Cost for certain home improvements made to accommodate a taxpayer, a spouse, or a dependent with a disability such that that person can continue to live at home may be deductible as a medical expense. Improvements including grading a home site to improve access, the construction of ramps, modifying entrances, modifying interior and exterior doorways, installing railing and support bars as well as bathroom modifications may qualify as deductions under this credit. The IRS permits deductions of qualifying medical expenses that amount to more than 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income. For additional details on these expenses, refer to IRS publication 502.
