Capital improvements/expenses
Hi, just sold a house in California and am wondering if the items below are considered capital improvements that can be added to the basis, or capital expenses that can be deducted from the gain. If so, should that be done prior to calculating capital gains tax and other affected taxes? As well, is landscaping - perennials, shrubs, trees, irrigation systems - considered a capital improvement? Thank you.
