2010 is going to be an interesting year for taxes. There are a number of tax breaks available that haven’t been available before. Here are two home-related tax moves for you to consider in 2010:
1. Buy a Home
The first time home buyer tax credit has been expanded and extended so that you can get the $8,000 first time tax credit until the end of April. Additionally, if you already own, you can get up to $6,500 when you buy. If you are planning to buy in the next couple of years, this might be the year to do.
2. Green Home Improvements
If you are thinking of making your home more energy efficient, 2010 is your year. There are tax credits available for putting in solar home heating systems, replacing your windows, adding insulation, and more.
Plan out the year ahead so that you can do your best to reduce your tax liability. Figure out what you want, and then decide how you can make it work within your budget.
