On your federal income taxes, you are allowed to claim a mortgage interest deduction for your principal residence and one other residence of your choice. It does not have to be in the same state. In addition, you are allowed to claim the interest on all rental or business properties.

Yes when it is qualified home mortgage interest and you are using the schedule A itemized deductions of the 1040 tax form along with all of your other itemized deductions.
On your income tax there is what's called the standard deduction. I think its currently a little under $6000 for singles. Everyone gets to subtract this from their income. However, if your interest on your home mortgage plus your state taxes add up to more then $6000 then you should put them on Schedule A (called itemizing) and you will be able to subtract more then the standard deduction. If you are married & filling jointly then the standard deduction is a little under $11000 and your mortgage interest + state taxes would have to be more then this to get anymore deducted from your income.
The real beneficiary from a mortgage insurance claim is ultimately the insurance company that provided you with the mortgage insurance in the first place.
You must be making the payments to claim the interest. However, if you are not on the mortgage there could be an issue.

The mortgage company send you (and the IRS) an annual statement reporting how much interest they received. (it normally has some other helpful things, like property taxes paid and such). If you have sometype of private mortge and it isn't sent, then you need to complete an additional form, basically reporting the holder, so they can check that he is reporting the interest you are claiming paid, as income. Interest of home mortgae is an intemized deuction of Sch A.
Call your mortgage company and ask them for the 1098 Form, which should have been sent to your address back in January/February. The 1098 Form will have this information for you to claim the mortgage interest tax deduction with the IRS.
Well, loans if anything would be income (but it isn't). You mean the interest on them...NO. Interest on personal use loans is not deductible.
