I bought a home December of 2016 my first payment is not due until February. Are there any tax breaks? The only money I forked out was a 10 percent down payment?

When you get to the "YOUR HOME" section under the deductions and credits tab in the program, answer YES to the question of "Did you own a home in 2016?" and work it through. YOu will need to have the HUD-1 closing statement that you received at the closing in front of you.
