incomes the possible savings are
even greater.
The interest ON mortgage is
deductible on your federal tax re-
turn. In most cases, payments I'd
a bank include '.both interest and
principal, as the mortgage is re-
duced, the interest is less and a
larger portion is applied to the prin-
cipal. Only the interest is dedue-
tible in the case OF your residence.
Real Estate Taxas
Sometimes tho monthly payment
also includes an: additional amount
which the bank .holds for the pay.
ment OF taxes, insurance, etc In
this case the bank is acting as your
agent in paying tax on your prop
erty Real estate. taxes paid by the
bank for you are deductible as Ii
you had paid them directly.
If your home had been damaged
by fire, storm or flood, your loss not
covered by insurance is deductible.
The amount of the loss is calculated
by comparing the fair market value
of the property just before and just
after the casualty, This loss. or the
cost Of the property, whichever is
lower, is reduced by any insurance
recovery to determine the loss for
tax purposes.
When large .amounts are in.

expert appraisal made Immediately
after the casually.
When You Sell Home
You are not allowed to deduct
any loss you may suffer on the sale
Of your personal residence How
ever, you may be required to pay
tax on a gain resulting from selling
the house at profit.
If, however. you buy and occupy
another home within one year. be-
