Tax Deductions For Homeowners
July 25th, 2010Question: bought first home, now looking at paying off debt vs saving?
I recently purchased my first home and will receive the 8k 1st time homeowner credit. My mortgage aside, I am looking to payoff some debt and would like some opinions. After my mortgage and personal expenses, I will have about 2k per month and a minimal amount of savings (2k), put most into home down payment. Here are my loans
4000 car loan @ 9.5%
3000 personal loan @ 6% (borrowed from 401k for downpayment)
2000 private student loan @ 5%
5000 private student loan @ 4.25%
25000 federal student loan @ 7%
zero credit card debtI’m pretty sure about paying off the 4k car loan, but am hesitant about the 3k 401k loan until I have a bit more saving built up. I figured that I would chip away at the student loans down the road as the interest is a tax deduction. Is it better to pay off some of these debts or save? Plus I want to be prepared for anything that might come up with the house.
Answer: You should payoff the 401k loan first. If you get laid off the 401k loan has to be repaid within 60 days or else you will be charged a 10% penalty plus federal and state income taxes.
That can amount to up to 50% of the amount distributed and you don’t need a $1,000-$1,500 tax bill if you are laid off.
