Deductions & credits

Deductible mortgage interest is any interest you pay on a loan secured by a main home or second home that was used to buy, build, or substantially improve your home. Beginning in 2018, the maximum amount of debt is limited to $750,000.

You can deduct the mortgage interest only if you itemize your deduction.
