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. Michael Straczynski will introduce their new sci-fi drama Sense8.
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.
You can deduct all or part of home repair costs if you have a business and use a portion of the home as an office for the business. To qualify for the home office deduction you must have a legitimate business and use part of your home exclusively and regularly for the business.
