Packed with tested strategies for homeowners, this tax guide moves beyond the basic deductions to show readers how to get tax breaks from short-term home rentals, use the $250, 000/$500, 000 home sale exclusion to shelter profits from the sale of real estate, and much more, all without running afoul of the IRS.
