I sold an investment property that needed a lot of cleaning up. Can I deduct dump fees and mileage for all the trips I made to the dump? It wasn't a residence I lived in.
This was an unfinished mountain home. Building permit had expired and had become very rundown, full of building materials (many of which were now useless). This was not a house anyone resided in. It was bought for the purpose of cleaning it up, renewing permit, and selling. I made over 100 trips to the dump emptying out this house.
