So which one can deduct the cost? Repair or improvement? How about the clean house cost, lawn care cost...

repair deducted same year. improvement deducted 1/27.5 each year (when you sell the house, the base is the purchasing price plus all the undeducted improvement incurred.

4. Do you fill the price that you buy the house on the tax return form every year, or only one year? I know you have a lot....:-)

Took a look of an old return. Not on Sch. E, so where are you going to put it?
