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.
