I have 3 children, 2 of them have been diagnosed with mild to severe allergies along with myself and my husband. We live in a house that was built in early 70’s. The carpeting is very old, and contributing to the children’s allergies. I am trying to find out if replacing the carpeting would qualify as a capital expense for tax purposes. Do I need any special paperwork from MD?

Brian asked:


I believe that I have seasonal allergies. I took a claritin and then took some more allergy medicine later and basically passed out. I’m just curious what causes seaonal allergies and what some good remedies are for it? Also, is there a way to know in advance if the air outside will be bad for allergies? I’m assuming that seasonal allergies are due to pollen and mold in the air. Maybe someone with more expertise in this field could kindly go in to detail about it for me. Thanks.
