Homeowners may reduce their taxable income by deducting interest paid on qualifying home loans. This benefit, outlined in NAR’s Consumer Guide, can lead to significant tax savings.

Key Points:

  • Eligibility – Must itemize deductions; applies to mortgages up to $750,000 on a primary or secondary home.
  • Qualifying Loans – Includes loans used to buy, build, or improve a home.
