Can i write off cash paid to individuals for work done on my house?

will this $ be included in investment value?

You already know the answer, no written document ions, no write off. You could have taken a plain piece of paper and spelled out exactly what he did for X amount of dollars. Then you would have him to sign that he received the X dollars for doing the job.

As long as you have an receipt. Well you could do it but then just think what would happen if you got audited.

With so many new tax laws it really is worth the money to see a CPA. I invested 15 grand into my home but only part of it was deductable and only for a certain time. Generally speaking the only "investments" into your home that you can deduct are those for home heating improvements. Good Luck>
