Is interest on home equity line of credit (HELOC) tax deductible?
Answer:Often, home equity line of credit (HELOC) will have tax deductible interest. Even more, interest paid on a HELOC may be completely tax-deductible.
Contact a tax advisor to figure out how much exactly you save with a HELOC, as you should know that tax deductibility of a HELOC depends on the tax bracket, the HELOC amount, the value of your house(s), and other factors.
Tax deductibility is not the only bonus that comes with a HELOC. Rather, customers may rely on a HELOC for unexpected expenses, especially if their first mortgage is fully paid off. Also, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) only gets you interest on what you decide to spend.
A tax deductible home equity line of credit (HELOC) is often used in debt consolidation programs to reduce monthly payments and help eliminate credit card debt for troubled borrowers.
