My best advice, whenever drastically changing your tax status, is to go to a professional for a "starter checkup".
It will cost a hundred or two hundred, but will save you thousands. Get from him(/her) a list of what you can deduct, what you need to keep, and what you absolutely need to avoid doing. And try to save every penny you can on taxes. Home Depot will end up with all of it and more. Congrats on the house!
