Mold remediation

$1,500-$6,000

Can You Write Off Mold Remediation?

Short answer: Usually no for your own home, but mold cleanup can count as a casualty loss after a federally declared disaster or as a medical expense when a doctor ties it to a condition.

On a rental or the office share of a home, remediation is a deductible repair.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
