Your Mortgage : How to Restructure Mortgage Into the Equivalent of a Biweekly Loan : A Question That Has No Answer : Q: I understand that if I buy a home, I can deduct the interest and loan fee on an "acquisition mortgage" used to buy the home. I have also been told that if I pay cash for the house but later change my mind, I have up to 90 days to obtain an acquisition mortgage. However, can I also deduct the loan fees "up front" or must I amortize them over the life of the mortgage? : A: My tax consultants tell me they don't know the answer, either. You are correct that the mortgage interest on an acquisition mortgage, which is defined as a home loan secured by your principal residence and obtained within 90 days of receiving title to the property, is fully tax deductible. : However, it is unclear if the loan fee paid to obtain such a mortgage is fully deductible in the year of obtaining the loan. Since this is a gray area of tax law, if you are an aggressive taxpayer you will fully deduct the loan fee in the year of obtaining the mortgage and hope you are not challenged by an IRS auditor. If you are a cautious taxpayer, then you will deduct the loan fee over the life of the mortgage. Please consult your tax adviser for full details. Special to The Times
