No the borrowed money would not be taxable income to you that you would report on your 1040 federal income tax return as income in the year that the amount is borrowed.

Why the interest on a loan is a business expense and a tax deduction but the principal payments are neither?

Because the princial payments are your simply returning the money you borrowed. WHEN YOU BORROWED THE MONEY, IT WAS NOT TAXABLE INCOME, RETURNING IT THEN CANNOT BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. (Or every year I would borrow an amount say equal to my taxable income from all sources from someone/thing (bank, brother, friend who I lend the same amount to at the same time), and pay it back the next day...creating a deduction, and eliminate all my taxable income from all other sources).

Mortgage debt reduction is it taxable income?

Yes. Although under a recent tax law in some very specific cases it may not be. Borrowed money is not taxable, because you incur a liability to repay exactly what you borrowed...your actually not worth anything more after borrowing than you were before...you new obligation offsets the increase in cash. Clearly, if someone gives you money in a business deal, it is income. Agreeing to not collect back all they gave you, cancelling debt, is the same as giving another money. You are enriched by the amount of liability that was dropped.
