Save some tax dollars
  Owning a home means many things to different people.  To some, a home is one of the most important tax shelters available.  Below we have outlined a few tax savings ideas.  And while you have a couple of extra days this year to get your tax money in the mail, owning a home today is an important way to save for your future.

While these are some great tips, Monte Hewett Homes always recommends you consult a tax professional before submitting your taxes. 
 
First and foremost, your biggest tax cutting source will be your mortgage interest.  As a homeowner, you are entitled to write off ALL of your mortgage interest (assuming your mortgage is valued under $1,000,000).

For those homeowners who choose to refinance during the year, you can also write off points paid to lower your mortgage debt. Also, don't forget that real estate and property taxes are deductible as well.

As many of you sold homes to move into your new home, remember that moving expenses (if over 50 miles) and capital gains up to $500,000 when married or $250,000 if single are excluded if you lived there for at least two of the last five years.

Lastly, if you purchased a home in 2006, don't forget to file for your homestead exemption!  Different counties have different cut-off dates so be sure to file within the your county's deadline.
