But did you know that you can also deduct your real estate taxes paid at settlement or closing as well as any points or home mortgage interest that are part of the actual home closing process?

As an existing homeowner or if you purchased your first home in Harrisonburg, VA in 2010, you should consult a tax professional with any specific questions you may have.

April 15th is still the due date for State taxes).
