The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – What It Means for Homeowners and Real Estate Professionals

 
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) worked throughout the tax reform process to preserve the existing tax benefits of home ownership and real estate investment, as well to ensure as many real estate professionals as possible would benefit from proposed tax cuts. Many of the changes reflected in the final bill were the result of the engagement of NAR and its members, not only in the last three months, but over several years.
 
The following is a summary of provisions of interest to NAR and its members. NAR will be providing ongoing updates and guidance to members in the coming weeks, as well as working with Congress and the Administration to address additional concerns through future legislation and rule making. Lawmakers have already signaled a desire to fine tune elements of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as address additional tax provisions not included in this legislation in 2018. REALTORS® will need to continue to be engaged in the process.
