Update: Home Owners Tax Credits 2023

2/3/2023

0 Comments

 

The largest tax break available to homeowners is for mortgage interest.

One of the most popular tax deductions for homeowners is mortgage interest, which is the annual amount of interest paid on your mortgage. It's frequently the most profitable as well, especially for first-time homebuyers whose payments typically go more toward loan interest in the initial years of a mortgage.

For first-time buyers, a mortgage interest tax credit could be very lucrative. A portion of the mortgage interest payments made by homeowners who have received a Mortgage Credit Certificate from a state or local government can be refunded as a tax credit. These certificates are typically obtained through a mortgage lender. According to Bankrate, mortgage certificate credit rates vary by state and can range from 10% in Virginia to 30% in Florida.

​Only those who are self-employed can deduct their home office costs.

Use IRS Form 8829 to submit your home business expenses if you use any area of your home, apartment, or condo "exclusively and regularly" for your own business or a side gig. Renters can also take advantage of these deductions.

Home related cost that are not tax deductible?

There are some home-related expenses that you cannot deduct from your income, despite the fact that homeowners are eligible for many tax breaks. 

Your mortgage's down payment
any payments made on a mortgage toward the loan principal

Cost of utilities such as gas, electricity, and water

Homeowner's or fire insurance

Maintaining the lawn or cleaning the house

Any decrease in the value of your house

Everybody has a different tax situation. We advise speaking with a tax expert who is knowledgeable about both federal and state tax laws before making any significant tax decisions.
