Are You Collecting These 9 Homeowner Tax Breaks?

1. Mortgage Interest – Under certain conditions like filing your taxes jointly with your spouse, you can deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage if you earn less than roughly $100,000 per year. There are limits, however.

2. Points – The points you paid your mortgage lender upon closing the deal on your house often amount to thousands of dollars. These fees are tax deductible in some cases.

3. Home Improvement Loan Interest – After you use a loan to pay for costly improvements in and around your home, the interest will be deductible as long as the job enhances your property’s value immensely.

4. Property Taxes – You have the option to deduct both city and state property taxes from your income in many respects.

5. Home Office Deduction – If you conduct business from your home on a regular basis, you have the opportunity to deduct costs related to this use of your home.

6. Selling Costs – After you’ve accumulated a range of fees from selling your home, you can deduct these selling costs from your final gain.

7. Capital Gains Exclusion – If you sell a home that you and your spouse used for two years over the past five years, you can often keep up to half a million dollars of the profits tax-free.

8. Moving Costs – Your moving costs can be deducted once you’ve relocated for a new job as long as you meet a number of the requirements set by the IRS.

9. Mortgage Tax Credit – This tax break is designed for low-income, first-time buyers so they can receive a set percentage of the tax credit on their mortgage interest.
