President Bush has signed a new tax legislation change that makes private mortgage insurance deductible for low and moderate income buyers who don't have the standard 20% downpayment necessary to purchase homes this year.
Home buyers who have annual household incomes of $100,000 or less, purchasing homes in 2007 will be able to get a low down payment mortgage and deduct the full cost of their mortgage insurance premiums on their federal tax returns. The deduction is set to expire at the end of 2007, unless Congress opts to extend it. This is in addition to the mortgage interest tax deduction they already take.
