Mortgage insurance (PMI)
$50-$300/mo
Can You Write Off Mortgage Insurance?
Short answer: Yes again starting in 2026: PMI premiums are treated as deductible mortgage interest if you itemize.
The deduction was restored and made permanent by the 2025 tax law; income phase-outs apply.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
