Second Home Mortgage Tax Deduction for 2009, 2010
A mortgage interest tax deduction is a deduction that you take against your first and second homes to reduce your tax liability. This deduction was placed into law to help encourage Americans to purchase homes.
Owning a second home is a luxury that many like to enjoy but it does not yield many tax deductions or credits. One of the few deductible expenses on a second home is the home interest tax deduction. You can also deduct your property taxes on both homes.
The limit on the amount that can be deductible is a home mortgage amount that does not exceed $1,000.000.00 on both your first and second homes combined.
