One of the biggest perks of the Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction is its
international reach. In fact, qualifying U.S. taxpayers may claim this deduction on
their foreign mortgages. Of course, the claimed home must serve as a primary or
secondary residence and can't be added to the two-home deduction limit that the
IRS imposes. There are few geographical restrictions
for this deduction.
Virtually anyone who pays taxes in the United
States can claim this deduction. This includes citizens, permanent
residents and certain long-term visa holders. Even recent immigrants who rent
properties in the U.S. while continuing
to own homes in other parts of the world may claim this deduction. However,
non-citizens who claim this deduction stand a far greater chance of being
audited by the IRS than permanent U.S. residents.
