YourVoice.Now Summary
Your MoneyHomeowners could deduct up to $10,000 a year of insurance premiums — and would not have to itemize.
Your Money
You could subtract what you pay each year for insurance on the home you live in, up to $10,000, from the income you are taxed on. It is a deduction, not money back, so what you save depends on your tax rate.
Some tax breaks only help people who itemize, which means listing deductions one by one. This one would be subtracted from your income before that step, so you could take it either way. It would apply to tax years that end after the bill becomes law.
More about this bill
If you own the home you live in, you could subtract your homeowners insurance costs from your taxable income. The most you could subtract is $10,000 a year. This is a deduction, not a refund. What you save would depend on your tax rate. You would not have to itemize to get it. Some tax breaks only help people who list deductions one by one. This one would come off your income before that step, so it would work either way. It would cover only insurance on your main home. Renters and owners of second homes would see no change. The break would start with tax years that end after the bill becomes law. That means it could reach the tax year you are already in.
