Deductions & credits

If I understand you correctly, you're talking about home mortgage interest that you pay.  You can take an itemized deduction on Schedule A for the mortgage interest you pay on a primary or second home.  This is a good thing; it cannot raise the amount of tax you owe.   Here is a link to IRS Publication 936, which discusses all aspects of this deduction.
