Question

Home refinance

We refinance and we received 3 different 1098 forms.  We had a HERO loan for the house and we had that paid off with the refinance. Is that considered as a cash out?

    If your new mortgage was larger than your old mortgage so that you could take cash out of the new loan to pay off debt then yes, that's a cash out.

    It was a “lien” on the house, it’s stated as a 2nd mortgage loan. Still a chashout?

    Yes, it is still considered a cash out and the interest is not deductible since the loan was not used to improve your home.
