Smart Ideas To Save You Time and Money on your Taxes

Last-minute tax changes

For most taxpayers, this filing season is little changed from past years. Congress' last-minute fix of the alternative minimum tax delayed filing of several million returns typically sent in January.

Other changes are tax breaks for homeowners facing foreclosure, or just having trouble making their payments.

Eligible taxpayers may deduct the amount they paid in mortgage insurance premiums for 2007 as residence interest on mortgages that were new or refinanced last year. Only taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $100,000 or less qualify for the full deduction.

There's an important break for certain homeowners facing foreclosure. Taxpayers granted forgiveness on mortgage debt in 2007 will not have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. This is where the balance of the loan was less than 2 million dollars, or 1 million for a married person filing separately. You'll need Form 982.

In the past, such forgiveness was taxed as income.
