No. Under Section 51(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, the general rule is that interest payments on a loan used to fund a life insurance policy are not deductible. Congress considers life insurance a highly tax privileged form of investment and declines to afford this additional benefit.
No. Deductible interest includes student loan, investment, and qualified residence interest. Payday loan interest is considered personal interest. Personal interest isn't deductible.
A policy loan is available only against a whole life policy, not a term life policy. Whole life accumulates cash value and a term life policy does not. The insurance policy will specify the interest rate that will accrue on the loan. The loan does not have to be repaid, but interest will continue to accrue if it does not. The insurance company will permit only a specified percentage of the cash value to be borrowed, and there must be a sufficient accumulation of cash value to a policy loan to be made. You should contact the insurance company directly to make arrangements for the loan.
Not quite sure but I believe a wash loan is when you take a loan from your cash value life policy and pay it back with interest, most of the interest goes back into your own account with the insurance company taking a very small percentage.
The interest on the second mortgage is deductible but not the home equity loan. If you could deduct the interest on the equity loan also, then you would be double dipping and the IRS doesn't like that. In every situation, one party can and the other party can deduct the interest. Someone has to pay tax on the money transfer.
Of course there certain conditions and qualifications...but normally yes.
