lots of info on my site on this one, but in short the money you get from the reverse mortgage is not subject to income tax because it is borrowed money, not earned money. this is similar to a home equity line of credit taken out against a home, no income tax is paid on the loan.
On the flip side, the interest you pay on a mortgage is tax deductible in the year you pay the interest, not necessarily in the year it accrues. Because a reverse mortgage does not require mortgage payments, you typically will not have a mortgage interest deduction on your income taxes. However, if you need a deduction on a particular year you can pay interest payments whenever you want, thus receiving a 1098 interest statement making that money tax deductible.
