Can I deduct mortgage interest on two primary homes and one vacation home, as I temporarily owned three homes for 4 months until I sold the initial primary home?

[MinhT · Accepted solution]

You can only claim mortgage interest on your primary home and ONE second home.

Please read this IRS document for more information:

In your situation, for the four months when you own three homes, you should choose the home with the least mortgage interest in those four months and not claim mortgage interest for that home for those four months.

Thank you.  For property taxes, I can deduct the taxes for all three homes for the entire time period, correct?
