Does replacing window blinds increase my basis in my house if the replacement blinds were the same as those replaced? The old ones were 20 years old, Ive been here 2 years. I keep track of capital improvements to correctly calculate my gain, if there is one, when I eventually sell. Im not selling now so this isnt preparation for a sale. Does replacing blinds increase the basis? How about adding ceiling fans, dimmer switches, painting? I assume new (better) lights and adding dimmers is a yes, painting is a no, and blinds are a ???
Thanks for any expertise.
