Can You Write Off Impact Fees?
Short answer: No: impact fees on new construction add to your home's basis instead.
Keep the receipts: it adds to your home's cost basis, which lowers taxable gain when you sell.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
