It's easy to assume that owning a home is a tax advantage, but it's not. If you don't own a home, you can take advantage of the rent credit or savings account deduction, and if you rent, you can take advantage of the mortgage deduction. Homeowners can also reduce their tax burden by deducting mortgage interest payments. It's important to note that it's not automatic. You can't take the deduction if the name on the lease, whether you've moved, the terms of the loan, and your payment history don't match. Be sure to check before the end of the year, especially if you've moved, changed loans, or renewed your lease. Year-end reconciliation isn't just a tax return, it's a tax strategy that pays off. Before the year is out, make sure you know which deductions are right for your home situation. #end-of-year #real-estate-savings #rental-tax-credits #mortgage #mortgage-loan #paychecks #third-party-paychecks
