Are major kitchen appliance purchases (refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave) included in Adjusted Cost Basis home improvements? (2024)

What about built-in appliances, like the dishwasher?

No. It does not add to the cost basis of the home. Perhaps what you read was related to rental property? Even then, it's not added to the cost basis of the property. Rental property is depreciated over 27.5 years. Appliances are depreciated over 5 years, and only if used as a business asset.

Purchasing appliances for your residence is not a deduction in any way, shape or form, and it does not change the cost basis of your property either, in any way, shape or form.
