It’s that time of year when everyone is thinking about taxes!  Will you get a refund?  What can you deduct?  One of the best tax benefits is owning a home!

Here are three huge benefits to owning a home:

1. The Purchase: The IRS says you can deduct interest in the year that it is paid, and that is usually part of each monthly loan payment.
2. Mortgage Interest: In general, you can deduct interest charged on a loan used to acquire or improve your principal residence in the year that it is paid.
3. The Sale: This is the best new of all!  You can earn up to $500,000 on the sale of your home and pay no federal income tax.
