Alert: Expired home and education tax breaks revived

Congress passed a federal budget bill in early February that revived dozens of expired tax breaks for the 2017 tax year. They include a deduction for education expenses as well as several tax breaks for homeowners.  If you have not yet filed your 2017 tax return, please be aware these late changes are retroactive to the beginning of 2017.  Check out this list of the most useful tax breaks to see if they apply to your situation.
