Realtor.com: Tax benefits of owning a home
|
|
| |
 What are the tax benefits of owning a home? Plenty of homeowners are asking themselves this right around now as they prepare to file their taxes. You may recall the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act-the most substantial overhaul to the U.S. tax code in more than 30 years-went into effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
The result was likely a big change to your taxes, especially the tax perks of homeownership. While this revised tax code is still in effect today, the coronavirus has thrown a few curveballs. For one, the Internal Revenue Service has delayed filing season by about two weeks, which means it won't start accepting or processing any 2020 tax year returns until Feb. 12, 2021. (So far at least, the filing deadline stands firm at the usual date, April 15.) Read about the benefits and more by clicking here.

Which states are Americans moving to, leaving?
|
|
| |
 Millions of Americans relocated in 2020 and many due to the COVID-19 pandemic. College students and young adults moved home, and a new breed of remote working Americans no longer tied down to a long commute sought new places to call home.
Idaho ranked as the nation's leader for inbound moves-that is, people moving in-while New York had the greatest outbound moves-people leaving the state, according to the 2020 Atlas Van Lines Migrations Patterns Study. The annual study tracked nearly 65,000 interstate and cross-border household relocations from Jan. 1, 2020, to Dec. 11, 2020.
Nevada ranked among the Top 10 for inbound moves. See where and view the entire list by clicking here.
