Tax Breaks for Homeowners

Considering purchasing a home soon? Need a little incentive to take the plunge? Well how about tax savings. Did you know homeowners have their own special tax deductions? Oh you didn’t??? Well that is okay. I made a list of a few for you:

1. Real Estate Taxes – Property taxes actually paid to the taxing authority.

2. Mortgage Interest – Interest paid on your mortgage’s principal loan balance.

3. Mortgage Insurance Premium – Homeowner’s with a FHA loan, mortgage insurance is required. The monthly premiums are a deduction.

4. Home Improvements – Certain home improvements meant to help save the environment such as low installing flow toilets, energy efficient appliances and the like.

5. Home Office – Use a part of your home for a business? Then a percentage of your home expenditures are deductable.

There are definitely benefits to becoming a homeowner. Why not explore the possibility with a local real estate professional like myself. I do suggest contacting a tax attorney or other tax professional to see how these common exemptions may apply to your tax situation.
