Property Taxes

State and local property taxes are generally eligible to be deducted.

Energy Efficiency 

There’s an eco-friendly tax break for homeowners, known as the residential energy-efficient property credit. The incentive applies to energy improvements made to a home, which might include installing solar panels, new appliances, and other energy-efficient upgrades.
