In the United States, there are several tax benefits available to homeowners. Some of the most common tax benefits for homeowners include:

1. Mortgage interest deduction: Homeowners can deduct the interest paid on their mortgage for their primary residence on their federal income tax return. This deduction is limited to mortgage debt up to $750,000 for mortgages taken out after December 15, 2017.

2. Property tax deduction: Homeowners can also deduct the amount they pay in property taxes on their federal income tax return.

3. Capital gains exclusion: If a homeowner sells their primary residence and meets certain requirements, they can exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples filing jointly) of capital gains from the sale from their taxable income.

4. Energy-efficient home improvement tax credits: Homeowners who make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes may be eligible for tax credits.

5. First-time homebuyer tax credit: First-time homebuyers may be eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000.

It's important to note that these tax benefits can vary based on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change based on legislative action. You should consult a tax professional for more information about which tax benefits you may be eligible for and for guidance on how to claim them.<|im_end|>
