  • Mortgage Debt Relief Exclusion;
  • First-Time Homebuyer Credit;
  • Additional Standard Deduction for Real Estate Taxes;
  • Changes to the Exclusion on Sale of a Principal Residence;
  • Mortgage Insurance Deduction;
  • Tax Breaks for Military Personnel, Reservists and Their Employers;
  • Tax Breaks for Farmers and Agricultural Energy;
  • Tax Relief for the Housing Industry;
  • Enhanced Code Sec. 179 Expensing;
  • Bonus Depreciation; and
  • What Is Still to Come.

In addition, the session will include ample opportunity for participants to ask their most pressing questions to Luscombe.
