Are there any tax benefits with home mortgages?

There are many benefits that come with owning a home and having a home mortgage.  Home ownership is certainly a benefit in itself, but a larger, more tangible benefit comes from the tax breaks that you can qualify for as a home owner.  However, there are invariably many tax benefits that come with home mortgages.  In most cases mortgage interest paid on your home loan is tax deductible.  Real estate taxes are generally tax deductible, taxes will vary based on the state and locality in which your home rests.  There is a specific mortgage calculator just for calculating the potential tax savings generated by a mortgage.  Real estate taxes and mortgage interest are tax deductible expenses that may be utilized on most individual tax returns but it would be necessary to consult a tax advisor for details.
