We just got our tax forms in the mail. Does anybody actually keep all their home improvement receipts or itemize their deductions? How do you keep all them filed and organized or find them under the pile of sawdust and paint scrapings? Is it even worth it? How long should we keep all those receipts? Any good links/advice besides wallowing through the IRS site? We just got our tax forms in the mail. Does anybody actually keep all their home improvement receipts or itemize their deductions?

I'm curious about this too - last year I skipped out on itemizing, but this year I kept all our receipts and plan to deduct. I'm just not sure how/where to claim them, and what counts.
ReplyDeleteWe keep ours in a shoebox. I just went through and organized them by month, highlighting the date and amount. Not sure where to go from there, though.
If I find anything out I'll let you know.
