One of the conditions for deducting mortgage loan interest is that the loan must be secure by a properly recorded lien on the property. If the person or company giving you the loan is not getting a lien on your property, you cannot deduct the interest. There are also several other conditions.

Take out a home equity line of credit instead.

Can a credit card loan spent to purchase a home be tax deductible?

No. Money, borrowed or not, to purchase a home is not tax deductible...the interest on the mortgage secured to the property may be.


You have a credit line and you are told that if you pay off the line over years it is not deductible If you pay it off in the year you use it it is deductible Is this right?

You cannot take any credit card debt or interest as a deductible on your taxes. Credit card debt is considered personal debt and does not qualify for tax breaks.

Can you deduct interest from personal loans?

No way, no how. ----- This answer is incorrect. You CAN deduct interest from personal loans in some circumstances. If you're a business owner and take out a personal loan for business expenses, you CAN deduct the interest as a business expense. If you own a rental property and use a credit card to make repairs to the property or take out a personal loan to make improvements, you CAN DEDUCT the interest from your taxes. The IRS has entire chapters devoted to this topic on its web site. Maybe the confusion is that for tax purposes it is the use of the interest/loan, not if your a Corporation/LLP/Trust/Proprietorship, etc. It is interest for "personal use" that has a problem. Correcting the above, back to the original: The examples given are NOT personal interest. They are loans made for a business purpose. They are loans taken, or expenses, incurred in the course of making taxable income. (Like interest on the margin account on your stock investments may become deductible). The only personal interest that may be deductible is on qualifying mortgages for a house. Interest on a corporate credit card that someone incurred for purchasing say haircuts for their own use, would NOT be deductible.

Is credit card interest deductible?

Sadly interest is not tax deductible, especially for individual borrowers that don't have a business. Business owners *might* be able to argue their case if they absolutely had to borrow money in order to start a business, but interest on personal credit cannot be deducted... * note: that might depends on how lenient the IRS feels for a particular industry, or even what year it is. Typically, they want all the money they can collect.
