New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine has announced his plan to eliminate the NJ State Property Tax Deduction for all non-senior households regardless of income. The New Jersey Association of Realtors (NJAR) which opposes this plan is calling on New Jersey residents to join them in fighting the passing of this harmful proposal. If passed, this plan will undoubtedly cost homeowners hundreds of dollars as they will be unable to deduct property taxes from their state filings. As a New Jersey Homeowner and local Realtor, I would like to reach out to all my friends and clients to join in the fight and to take action on this issue by visiting the NJAR site and sending a message to Governor Corzine, your Assembly-person and State Senator. To Say No To Elimination of NJ Property Tax Deduction please click here. Posted by Thomas Della Piazza, Summit Today Real Estate

Here is a great explaination of Tax credits currently available for first-time homebuyers. CNNMONEY.COM explains the differences between the Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and the recently signed stimulus package of 2009. The Economic Recovery Act of 2008 gives a tax credit of $7500.00 for first-time homebuyers that purchased after April 1, 2008 and before January 1, 2009. Walter Updegrave of CNNMONEY describes it as an interest free government loan that can be paid back over time. The current stimulus package of 2008 allows for an $8,000.00 tax credit for first-time homebuyers that purchase between January 1, 2009 and November 30 of 2009. You can claim it on your 2008 tax return and it does not have to be repaid as long as you stay in your home for at least 36 months.
