No.

If you are buying a primary residence, the interest on the mortgage (for most people) can be listed on your Schedule A 0 Itemized deductuins. If you have a 30 year mortgage, you initially are paying interest, and as you get near the end of your amortization period, your payment will be mostly used to pay down your mortgage, and there will be very little interest.

But when your balance dwindles, you will br brttre off taking the standard deduction, rather than itemizing.

If you sell property and take back a second mortgage, the interest is taxable income, although it is unearned income and not subject to Social Security (FICA) and Medicare taxes. And if you have borrow money in order to take back that second mortgage, the interest you pay can offset the interest you earn.

Who in the US is exempt from paying taxes?

There are two answers.1.According to the I.R.S., and tax court judges, who are paid by the US government, no one is exempt.2.According to US Income tax law, however, everyone is exempt, except those who have"Foreign earned income".A."Exempt income" - Legally defined in 26 CFR 1.861-8T(d)(2)(ii).B."Income that is not considered tax exempt" follows it in Sec. 1.861-8T(d)(2)(iii) and only includes "Foreign earned income". (Note: Income Not Exempt means taxable)So according to "code", most people are exempt from paying income taxes, unless they earn "Foreign earned income."Notice, According to Uncle Sam at Google, Section 861-8T is the result (and it comes from GPO, Electronic Code of Federal Regulations ... i.e. it's the law).3.

I believe it involves a constitutional amendment (I think to the West Va constitution - not the US) granting the BSA tax exempt status. The issue is that the BSA is opening a new high adventure base in West Virginia. They are currently tax exempt but the BSA may engage in some activities there that may cause their tax exempt status to be questioned. This legislation is an effort to allow the BSA to fully operate the Summit Beschel Scout Reserve as they would like without jeopardizing their tax exemption.
