Episode Synopsis

Many taxpayers don’t feel the need to keep home improvement records, thinking the potential gain will never exceed the amount of the exclusion for home gains ($250,000 or $500,000 if both filer and spouse qualify) if they meet the 2-out-of-5-year use and ownership tests. Everyone hates to keep records but consider the consequences if you have a gain and a portion of it cannot be excluded.
