My father has a Reverse Mortgage on his home. Can he deduct the Interest and MIP payments on this HCEM loan?

Should we get a 1098?

My father has a Reverse Mortgage on his home. Can he deduct the Interest and MIP payments on this HCEM loan?

Possibly. Interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage isn't deductible until you actually pay it (usually when you pay off the loan in full).

 

Refer to Are the proceeds I receive from a reverse mortgage taxable to me?

 

Mortgage Insurance Premiums are deductible if paid, including from a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM).

 

You may or may not receive a Form 1098.
