Home Ownership: Tax Incentives for Buying and Maintaining a Home
Author: Sidney Kess and Barbara Weltman

Description:

This course focuses on tax incentives for home ownership.

Some of the breaks are new—they were enacted under legislation during the past year—and others have been in the Tax Code for years. All will help to encourage homeownership, as well as to provide relief for those who lose their homes.

Because the breaks are so extensive, they are separated into two Parts:

  • Part I, the topic of this course, deals with the incentives designed to help people buy homes and pay for maintaining their homes.
  • Part II, which will be covered in a seperate course, deals with tax incentives for selling a home, other ways to use homes to generate cash or income without selling, and relief for those who lose their homes.

Topics covered in this course include the following:

  • Tax Incentives for Buying a Home
  • Tax Incentives for Maintaining a Home
