Writing Off Moving Expenses

You've heard that buying a home is a great tax break. Here's how it works.

Mortgage interest and real estate taxes are tax deductible. This can really add up. Most of your mortgage payments in the first years are for interest. On a $1,200
mortgage you could deduct up to $1,080 a month. This will reduce your taxable income by around $13,000 a year. This could really save you money.

You can see the benefit of buying a home. You can either receive a big payout when you file your taxes, or adjust your income withheld each month.
