A defeasance penalty, which is a fee paid to release a borrower from a loan obligation, can be deductible under certain circumstances. Typically, if the penalty is considered a necessary cost of obtaining financing or related to the interest expense of the loan, it may be deductible as a business expense. However, the specific deductibility can depend on the nature of the transaction and the taxpayer's situation, so it's advisable to consult a tax professional for personalized guidance.

Prepayment penalties are sometimes deductible if the payment is made out of pocket as opposed to being rolled over into the new loan. It is not ever considered to be a late payment.
