It’s that time of year and there are a lot of income tax changes.  My goal is for you to optimize your 2008 Jennifer Kazwell, tax experttax benefits.  To this end I will be exploring these changes over the next few weeks in depth on Kazwell.com.  Here is a summary of a few of the items you need to know and we will be looking at in detail in articles to come:
First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit:  You don’t really have to be a first-time homeowner to qualify, as long as you have not owned a home in the last three years.  To qualify you must have purchased a home after April 9, 2008.  You can still take advantage of this benefit next year if you purchase before June 30, 2009.
Real Estate Tax Deduction:  This additional standard deduction may help you even if don’t itemize.  This deduction is available for the 2008 and 2009 tax years and increases your standard deduction which decreases taxable income.  Other points you may find to be of interest include the following.

Rich Dad Poor DadIf you, as I, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" years ago, read it again, now!  On the other hand, if you never read it before; do so as soon as possible.  Robert Kiyosaki's message has never been more relevant than today!
He confronts the concept of your home being your greatest asset.  If that's the case, Kiyosaki says, "You’re in trouble!"  Eight years ago, many screamed heresy. Today, it is simple fact.
