HOME OWNERSHIP EQUALS

Tax Savings!

Brokers Jeff & Heather Buchanan Answer Your Real Estate Questions

Looking for ways to save in 2020? Buy a home! Owning a home means not only

cheaper monthly payments than renting, but the added tax benefits make it a no-brainer!

Here are a few of the tax deductions that come home ownership:

1

Interest You Pay On Your Mortgage

If you own a home and don’t have a mortgage greater than $750,000, you can deduct the interest you pay on the loan. This is one of the biggest benefits to owning a home versus renting because those deductions add up big time!

2

Property Taxes

Another awesome benefit to owning a home is the ability to deduct up to $10,000 of your state and local property taxes.

3

Energy Efficient Tax Incentives

While most of the tax incentives for making energy-efficient upgrades to your home have gone away, there are still a couple worth noting.

You can still claim tax deductions on solar energy for both electric and water heating equipment through 2021. The longer you wait, though, the less money you’ll get back. Here’s the percentage of equipment you can deduct, based on the time of installation: ENERGY EFFICIENT TAX INCENTIVES QUALIFYING INSTALLATION DATE
