VA borrowers, like other homeowners, are allowed to write off ALL of the mortgage interest they pay every year.\u00a0 For the initial couple of years, almost all of your mortgage payments will go toward interest.\u00a0 Therefore, this deduction is pretty sizable for new homeowners.<\/p>\n<p>Discount points and origination fees associated with your 2012 home purchase can also be deducted \u2013 even if you weren\u2019t actually the one to fork over the dough. <strong>VA loans<\/strong> allow for up to all closing costs and up to 4% concessions to be seller-paid.\u00a0 Even if the seller or someone else pays discounts and origination for the buyer, the buyer can still itemize them on the tax return.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Deduct Interest through a VA Cash-out Refinance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A <strong>VA Cash-out Refinance Loan<\/strong> can enable veterans with credit card debt to turn their high-interest debt into a low-interest mortgage payment with a tax benefit to boot.\u00a0 Most credit cards carry an interest rate of around 21%.\u00a0 The going mortgage interest rate is currently around 3.5 percent.\u00a0 Veterans benefit twice when using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.directvaloans.com\/va-cash-out-refinance\">cash-out program<\/a>, because they can reduce their monthly payments on their credit card debts and take the tax deduction on the mortgage interest paid.\u00a0 When the VA cash-out program is used, the mortgage balance increases to reflect the cash taken from the home\u2019s equity.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> No Capital Gains for Most Home Sellers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Married homeowners filing jointly can sell a home for up to $500,000 tax free. They must occupy the home for two years.\u00a0 Capital gains can be avoided even if a different home is sold every two years.\u00a0 Single filers are permitted to sell a home up to $250,000 with the same tax-free benefits.\u00a0 As long as the home is used as a primary residence, a requirement for VA borrowing anyway, many veterans avoid paying taxes after selling a home. For active duty military members frequently reassigned, this can be an especially handy tax deduction.<\/p>\n<p>For more on VA loans, contact a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.directvaloans.com\/department-of-veterans-services\">specialized lender<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By Lynn Goya<\/p>\n<p>Published in Veterans Journal<\/p>\n<p>1-7-2013<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people dread it, but it comes like clockwork every year \u2013 TAX TIME!\u00a0 Tax Tips for VA Loan Borrowers can take advantage of many tax deductions that can result in paying less to the IRS, or getting a refund, when filing their taxes.
