Deductions & credits

Because you got the 1098, it most likely qualifies as a secured property.  For the Home Mortgage deduction, an interest in the property via deed qualifies.  If it were a membership or a contract for points type of timeshare, the  interest would not be deductible.  Box 8 can have Vacation ownership as the description so once again the loan is secured by your property interest.
