Claim your house on your taxes?

On your income tax there is what's called the standard deduction. I think its currently a little under $6000 for singles. Everyone gets to subtract this from their income. However, if your interest on your home mortgage plus your state taxes add up to more then $6000 then you should put them on Schedule A (called itemizing) and you will be able to subtract more then the standard deduction. If you are married & filling jointly then the standard deduction is a little under $11000 and your mortgage interest + state taxes would have to be more then this to get anymore deducted from your income.


Is the interest on a home loan tax deductible?

Maybe, it will depend upon if you have enough itemized deductions to exceed the Standard Deduction andyour adjusted gross income is less than $100,000.The Standard Deduction is an deduction from income based upon your filing status. The Standard Deduction is normally adjusted each year for inflation.In tax year 2011 the Standard Deduction for single or married filing separate was 5,800 and for married filing jointly was $11,600.So to be able to deduct every dollar of the interest on your home loan, you will need to have other Schedule A Itemized Deductions that exceeded your Standard Deduction.In other words, if your qualified medical expenses, state and local income taxes, home real estate taxes, charitiable contributions, casualty losses, education expenses, investment expenses, and legal expenses add up to be more than your Standard Deduction ($11,600 for married filing jointly) AND youradjusted gross income is less than $100,000 (married filing jointly) the interest on a home loan will be tax deductible.

A deduction on your income tax return would reduce your taxable income on your 1040 income tax return and reduce your federal income tax liability. An income tax deduction amount from your gross pay would be a prepayment of any future federal income liability you may have after your income tax return is completely at the end of the tax year and if enough is deducted from your gross pay you could end up receiving a refund of some of the withheld income tax amount.
