Income Tax Questions
Are you working on your taxes? I’m just starting on my income tax forms. If you’ve run into some questions, I know of a good website to check for answers.
Fairmark has several tax guides that may be useful. More importantly, they host a message board that is very active. I just posted a question there last night, and I received two replies this morning. Good luck with your taxes.

What is a Homestead tax ? Will it cut my primary and only home taxes? Do I need to fill out a form for this? Do I need to be a certain age for this? Thank you for your time.
I had a house built in 2006 in Texas. Since there is no income tax I can deduct the sales tax on large items, constuction materials being a qualifier. Unfortunatly I cannot get itemized receipts for all the materials, some coming from the subcontractor in the way of a straight draw on a previous bid. Is there an estimation on the total amount of construction (material vs. labor) I can use to calculate the state and local tax paid without the receipt in my hand?
