Can You Write Off Reverse Mortgage Interest?
Short answer: Interest on a reverse mortgage is deductible only when actually paid, usually when the loan is paid off.
It's subject to the same home acquisition debt limits.
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.
