<prompt> Human: Just wondering if turbotax will be detailed enough for me to maximize my return or if it would be worth it this year to get some extra help. Thanks in advance for your advice!!Assistant: If its just an owner-occupied home, theres really not much to do to maximize your return. Just add in the interest paid. Not much else to write off.Human: What about home improvements or repair work done to the exterior? Are any of those expenses deductible? Ive been saving every receipt for home expenses.  <response>: Not on your personal home. If it was a rental, you could deduct it.
