Second home. A second home is a home that you choose to treat as your second home.
Second home not rented out. If you have a second home that you do not hold out for rent or resale to others at any time during the year, you can treat it as a qualified home. You do not have to use the home during the year.
Second home rented out. If you have a second home and rent it out part of the year, you also must use it as a home during the year for it to be a qualified home. You must use this home more than 14 days or more than 10% of the number of days during the year that the home is rented at a fair rental, whichever is longer. If you do not use the home long enough, it is considered rental property and not a second home. For information on residential rental property, see Publication 527.

Is reverse mortgage taxable?
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.
