how to build a boat raft with 4 or 8 straws and 20cm x20cm of aluminum foil?
The roof would not be a tax deduction because it was part of your living area already and this is ordinary maintenanceBut the insulation could have a local rebate or a general rebate involved.
Unless this is a rental property, maintenance is NOT deductibleIMPROVEMENTS to your home effect the cost basis used to determine capital gain or loss when the home is soldAs you can excluded up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married filing jointly) of gain the sale of you home, it is unlikely you will see ANY tax benefit.
I choose the best answer based on the fact that he was correctOur installation of the roof tiles was not a tax deductible item, but the extra insulation they installed was tax deductible, giving us an over extra $350 in returnWe were just going to forget it, but it was actually worth it!
take the 4 straws and insert their ends into each other and make a square out of themtake the other straws and make ribs to to support the foil in a bowl like shape, use strips of foil to tie the ribs to the square frame, cover it all with a solid piece of foil.
