Getting Down to Business
Julian Block and I have both been members of the American Society of Journalists and Authors for so long that I can't recall not knowing him and reading his excellent advice on tax matters over the years. Julian has revised and expanded his book, The Home Seller's Guide to Tax Savings and it is filled with money-saving information. For example, since 1997 sellers pay no taxes on profits of as much as $250,000 for single persons and $500,000 for married couples. There are many other ways to save money such as deducting for a home office, rules affecting divorcing couples, and increased deductions for casualty and theft loses due to Hurricane Katrina if you live in areas where it occurred. An attorney and former IRS special agent, Julian writes a monthly column, "Real Estate In-Depth", for the newspaper of the Westchester Country Board of Realtors, serving more than 7,700 realtors in New York's northern suburbs.
