HELOC interest is only deductible if the amount borrowed was used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home secured by the loan. For example, using HELOC proceeds to purchase a second home or pay off credit card debt disallows the interest from being deductible mortgage interest.
However, using a HELOC to renovate a kitchen in the home securing the loan would make the interest qualify for the deduction.
