Should I report patronage dividends reported on form 1099-PATR as income?

[scott-bailey]

I purchased a second home using a mortgage obtained through a land bank.  I am taking a tax deduction on the interest paid on this mortgage.  I also received a patronage dividend from the land bank that was reported on from 1099-PATR.  Should I report this patronage dividend as income?  Should I reduce the interest deduction by the amount of the patronage dividend?

You should not reduce the amount of interest deduction by the amount of the patronage dividend.

This is how to report form 1099-PATR on your tax return:

The tip implies that I shouldn't report the patronage dividend, because it is associated with property purchased for personal use.  Do you agree?

If you itemize your deductions and get a tax benefit then you must report the 1099-PATR. Otherwise, you do not have to report it.
