Yes, for both the primary and second home the mortgage interest paid and the real estate tax paid are deductible as itemized deductions on Schedule A.
Yes, you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes on both your first and second home, if you are itemizing your return.
Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, gambling losses up to winnings, charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $10,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss. Your health insurance and all medical expenses are only deductible for the amount that is over 7.5% of your AGI. This means if your AGI is $50,000, then the amount that is over $3,750 is deductible.
Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.
The 2023 Standard Deductions are as follows:
Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,500
Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $1,850
Standard versus Itemized Deduction
