Netflix has a pair of power-hitters coming up to bat in the coming weeks: The acclaimed prison comedy/drama Orange Is the New Black returns for a third season on June 12, and the week before that the Wachowskis and Babylon 5 creator J.

Remodel and Repair. Repairs to a home are not tax deductible. It is firmly enshrined in US tax law. If you have to fix a broken floor, you can't claim it; however, if fixing the floor is part of a larger plan for remodeling the kitchen, you probably can claim it as a tax deduction.
Expenses you incur that physically affect the home are not deductible from the sales proceeds, even if they help make your home more saleable. For example, you canât deduct the cost of cleaning the carpets in your home, repainting, or hiring a gardener to make the lawn look good.
