Question by Haley012307: How much of a return do you get on your tax returns if you own a home?
I am about to own my first house in a month or so and I’m paying $ 156,000 for it. Do I get any extra money in my tax returns for owning a house?

Best answer:

Answer by Martin S
You get extra money in your tax return for writing off the interest on your mortgage that you pay every year. Not the house itself.
