The mortgage interest deduction and the state and local property tax deduction are probably the best-known tax incentives for homeownership and real estate investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s no surprise. Roughly nine out of 10 home buyers borrow money to buy a home, meaning they likely pay some form of mortgage interest. And property taxes are a near-universal expense for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both deductions are crucial to making homeownership possible for the average buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are other real estate-related tax incentives that might not be as familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capital gains exclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All homeowners hope their property will appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flip side is that anyone selling an asset that has gone up in value may get hit with a tax bill for the profit, also known as the capital gain. Thankfully, homeowners have some help in their corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An individual selling his or her principal home can qualify for an exclusion of up to $250,000 in capital gains, and married people who file jointly may qualify for an exclusion of up to $500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to report gains up to these limits on a tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To take the exclusion, sellers must pass the IRS\u2019 ownership and use test, but it\u2019s fairly straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, they must own the property and have used it as a primary residence for a total of two out of the five years preceding the sale. Even if owners currently rent the property and depreciate it \u2014 as we\u2019ll discuss shortly \u2014 they might still meet the use and ownership test and qualify for the exclusion. And even if sellers haven\u2019t lived in the home during the past five years, they might qualify for a partial exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a big help, as well as a recognition of the fact that millions of Americans depend on their home to build wealth throughout their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1031 like-kind exchanges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201c1031 like-kind exchange\u201d sounds like it\u2019s ripped right from an accountancy textbook, but it\u2019s actually fairly easy to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say a person owns a single-family, detached rental home as part of an investment portfolio. If the home appreciates, the owner will likely owe capital gains taxes in the event of a sale \u2014 unless he or she uses the proceeds to buy a condominium in a market with higher rents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the single-family home and the condo are both investment properties, tax law treats them as \u201clike kind.\u201d And because this transaction is a \u201clike-kind exchange,\u201d the owner won\u2019t pay capital gains tax until he or she sells the new property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives investors an incentive to put any realized gains back into the economy rather than pocketing them. And it\u2019s a big deal: Major real estate investors and mom-and-pop investors alike can benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depreciation on rental property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners who rent a portion or all of their property might be able to \u201cdepreciate\u201d that asset, which means deducting some of the cost of the property each year on their tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That could result in a significant income tax deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do earn money on the sale of your home after depreciation is taken into account, you\u2019ll generally owe tax on the depreciated portion at the 25 percent \u201cdepreciation recapture\u201d rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any other gains will be taxed as capital gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes may be coming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than a century, the United States has recognized the benefits of homeownership and real estate investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It strengthens communities and helps individuals grow nest eggs for themselves. However, Congress is considering tax reform proposals that could have sweeping implications for real estate incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s tax situation is unique. Before you count on any of these incentives, you may want to talk with a tax professional. But if you\u2019re ready to take the plunge into homeownership or real estate investment, tax benefits \u2014 some obvious and others perhaps less so \u2014 are out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
