Owning a home is part of the American Dream. Whether you fancy a log cabin in the middle of nowhere, a suburban Cape Cod with a white picket fence, or a downtown condo in the sky, there’s just something special about trading in a lease for a deed. But that transition can be difficult – and expensive. It’s tough saving up enough money for a down payment and then keeping up with the mortgage payments — to say nothing of the maintenance costs, which are now all on you!

Fortunately, Uncle Sam has a few tax tricks up his sleeve to help you buy a home, save on home-related costs and sell your home tax-free.
