I own 2 rental properties that DO NOT HAVE a mortgage but DO HAVE a HELOC. In one case the HELOC was refinancing, and in the other case, HELOC proceeds were used for home improvements. I have read several reports that under the new tax bill that HELOC interest for a primary home is no longer deductable on schedule A. However, I am not sure what happens to rental properties on Schedule E. Any help is much appreciated.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Any mortgage amount (personal, rental, or business) that the money was used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home is deductible (personal residence interest may be limited to $750,000 of mortgage amount).
If the money was not used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home, a rental or business can still generally deduct the interest if the money was used for rental or business purposes.
