*You can deduct many home-related expenses, and these tax breaks are available for any type of home; mobile home, single family home, condo, etc.

*The bad news is that your taxes will become much more complicated when you file.

*ALL Mortgage Interest paid is deductible unless your loan amount is over 1 million

*Did you pull out extra cash from financing or did you get a home equity loan or line of credit? Generally, these are all deductible up to $100,000

*Do you own multiple homes? Mortgage Interest on a second home is also fully deductible.

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program

On November 30, 2009, the Treasury Department released guidelines and forms for its new Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA). HAFA is part of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). HAFA provides incentives in connection with a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL) used to avoid foreclosure on a loan eligible for modification under the HAMP program. Servicers participating in HAMP are also required to comply with HAFA regulations.
