Tax Benefits of Homeowners

By valerie-uselman August 2, 2024

Owning a home comes with many financial advantages, including potential tax savings. As your local Realtor, I want to help you maximize these benefits.

  • Mortgage Interest Deduction: If you’re paying a mortgage, you can deduct the interest paid each year, which can be substantial, especially in the early years of your loan. This deduction also applies to prepaid interest at closing.
  • Property Taxes: You can deduct the property taxes you pay, up to $10,000 annually. This can be a significant benefit, especially in areas like Santa Fe or Angel Fire, where property taxes can add up.
  • Home Office Deduction: If you run a business from home, you may be eligible for a home office deduction. This applies to spaces used exclusively and regularly for business purposes.
  • Qualified Home Improvements: Some home improvements, such as energy-efficient upgrades, may qualify for tax credits. Additionally, medically necessary modifications may also be deductible.
