How does buying/selling a home affect my taxes in Oregon?

[Jpysu]

Hi,

I recently bought a townhouse in Portland, Oregon. I do not own any other properties or assets. I would like to know:

• how does buying/selling a home affect my taxes as a single household income?
• What are the itemizable items I can file for tax deduction?
• How can I max my return and deduction?

Thank you!

  You generally can deduct the real estate taxes and mortgage interest on the home.   The amount of those deductions and other deductions such as taxes, medical expenses, and charitable contributions must exceed the value of your standard deduction.
