<prompt> Human: So this year I started a new job, sold a house, bought a new one, and withdrew 25k to do all of it. Are there any ways I can reinvest the 25k Ive recouped so I minimize the taxable income?I currently plan to write off all the improvements I made to my old house. But Im concerned that wont be nearly enough to offset early withdraw penalties.The retirement account was an IRA not Roth, if that makes a difference. Id like to start it up again if possible, but I dont have the finance background to know if thats possible.Thanks in advance!  <response>: I currently plan to write off all the improvements I made to my old house.Improvements to your primary residence are not tax-deductible. If it was an investment property you can deduct them, but youre also going to be taxed on any capital gain from the sale in that case.
