Can You Write Off Shed or Garage?
Short answer: No for personal use; it adds to your home's basis.
A shed used regularly and exclusively for a business may be depreciated.
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.
