Home mortgage interest deductions depend on qualifying debt, loan limits, and how borrowed funds were used. A loan secured by your home is not automatically deductible in full.
Keep mortgage statements and records of acquisition or improvement spending. Refinancing and mixed-use borrowing can require additional analysis. Interest and principal are different parts of the payment.
Your next steps
- Collect Form 1098 and loan documents.
- Document how borrowed funds were used.
- Review limits and refinancing history.
