Guess What? Taxes are Complicated!

The problem is that if you get it wrong you can end up paying way too much to your local County Treasurer or the IRS.
You need to understand the tax law and plan well in advance of the day you sell your home or file your annual tax return. The smallest action or omission can have the biggest tax consequences.
The tax center will help you plan your tax strategy and minimize your real estate related income, business and capital gains taxes.

FAQ
Can I Reduce my property taxes?

What’s the Home Mortgage Interest deduction?

Can I Eliminate Property Taxes?
Let’s not beat around the bush – the government wants its taxes. You can’t eliminate taxes but you can indirectly pass the cost onto someone else.

What About Capital Gains?
The IRS also allows you to exempt an amount of the profit (gain) you make when you sell your home. There are lots of qualifying rules but the tax consequences are huge.
