SBLOC interest

Varies

Can You Write Off SBLOC Interest?

Short answer: Securities-backed loan interest is investment interest only if you use the money to buy taxable investments.

Personal use makes it nondeductible.

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.
