Deducting Points on Home Refinances
Summary
When you refinance your primary home, any points paid can be tax-deductible over the duration of the loan. However, this applies only if it's your main residence and the new mortgage replaces a previous one or is used for home improvements. Points can't be deducted if used for paying off credit cards or other non-residence expenses.Maximizing Deductions Through Multiple Refinances
Refinancing your primary home twice within a year can lead to significant tax advantages. Doing so allows you to accelerate the deduction of points from your first refinance.
For example, if you refinanced in January 2004 and paid $3,000 in points, and then refinanced again in August the same year due to declining interest rates, you could fully deduct the January points in that tax year.
Here's how it works: Initially, you deduct a portion of the points from your latest refinance, calculated by dividing the total amount of points by the number of months in the loan. While this deduction isn't massive, it still contributes to your savings.
Additionally, you can deduct the full $3,000 from your January refinance because paying off the original loan with the August refinance accelerates the deductibility of those points.
By refinancing twice, you not only secure a lower interest rate but also enjoy beneficial tax deductions?"highlighting the advantages of homeownership.
