Homeowners should watch new tax laws Taxpayers traditionally have been able to deduct interest on their home mortgages as an itemized deduction. Most home- owners can continue to deduct home mortgage interest in 1987. However, those taxpayers who acquired new mortgages after August 16, 1986, or who refi- nanced their home and used part or all the proceeds for purposes other than for the home, may find the interest deduction limited, according tot Larry C. Jenkins, Penn State Cooperative Extension econo- mist. Beginning in 1987, for a home mortgage taken out after August 16, 1986, interest is gen- erally deductible to the extent that the amount borrowed does not exceed the cost of the home plus the cost of improvements. If the amount borrowed exceeds the cost of the home and improvements, interest on the excess is generally deductible only to the extent the excess amount is used for medical or educational reasons. Interest on the portion of a home mortgage loan used for personal reasons is personal interest and is sub- ject to the new rules for per- sonal interest deduction. | WANT YOUR PHOTO? available for sale.
