Line 9 — Other Taxes
If you had any deductible tax not listed on lines 5 or 6, list the type and amount of tax. Include income tax you paid to a foreign country or U.S.
possession. You cannot claim a deduction for foreign taxes if you included those taxes on federal Form 1116.
Lines 11 through 13 — Interest You Paid
The rules for deducting interest vary, depending on whether the loan proceeds are used for business, personal, or investment activities. See
IRS Publication 535 for more information about deducting business interest expenses. See IRS Publication 550 for more information about
deducting investment interest expenses. You cannot deduct personal interest.
If you use the proceeds of a loan for more than one purpose (for example, personal and business), you must allocate the interest on the loan to
each use. Do not allocate home mortgage interest if it is fully deductible, regardless of how you used the funds.
You allocate interest (other than fully deductible home mortgage interest) on a loan in the same way as the loan is allocated. Trace
disbursements of the debt proceeds to specic uses. For more information on allocating interest, see IRS Publication 535.
Generally, if you paid interest in 2019 that applies to any period after 2019, you can deduct only amounts that apply for 2019.
Line 11 — Home Mortgage Interest Reported on Federal Form 1098
If you led federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8a. Do not include any home equity loan interest that was included on line 8a. If you
meet the exception to the federal limitation for a loan taken out after December 15, 2017 but before April 1, 2018, follow the instructions for
limits on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017 on Schedule M1SA.

A home mortgage is any loan secured by your main home or second home. It includes rst and second mortgages and renanced mortgages. A
home can be a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, boat, or similar property. The home must provide basic living accommodations,
including sleeping space, toilet, and cooking facilities.
Limit on loans taken out before December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out before December 16, 2017, you can only deduct mortgage
interest on up to $1,000,000 ($500,000 if you are married ling a separate return) of that debt. The only exception is for loans taken out on or
before October 13, 1987. See IRS Publication 936, if you took out the loan on or before October 13, 1987.
Limit on loans taken out on or after December 16, 2017. For qualifying debt taken out on or after December 16, 2017, you can only deduct
home mortgage interest on up to $750,000 ($375,000 if you are married and ling a separate return) of that debt. If you also have qualifying
debt subject to the $1,000,000 limitation discussed under the previous paragraph, the $750,000 limit for debt taken out on or after December 16,
2017 is reduced by the amount of your qualifying debt subject to the $1,000,000 limit.
Refund of overpaid interest. If your Form 1098 shows any refund of overpaid interest, do not reduce your deduction by the refund.
Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if ling jointly) were liable for
and paid interest on the mortgage, and the interest was reported on the other person’s Form 1098, report your share of the interest on line 2 (See
IRS Publication 936 to calculate your mortgage interest deduction).
Form 1098 does not show all interest paid. If you paid more interest to the recipient than is shown on Form 1098, show the larger deductible
amount on line 11 and explain the dierence. If you are ling a paper return, explain the dierence by attaching a statement to your paper return
and printing “See attached” to the right of line 11.

If you led federal Schedule A, enter the amount from line 8b.
If you paid mortgage interest to a recipient who did not provide you a Form 1098, report your deductible mortgage interest on line 12.
Seller nanced mortgage. If you paid home mortgage interest to the person from whom you bought the home and that person did not provide
you a Form 1098, write that person’s name, identifying number, and address on the line next to line 12. If the recipient of your home mortgage
payment(s) is an individual, the identifying number is their Social Security number (SSN). Otherwise, it is the Federal Employer Identication

Interest reported on someone else’s Form 1098. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if ling jointly) were liable for

Points not reported on Form 1098. Points are shown on your settlement statement. Points you paid only to borrow money are generally
deductible over the life of the loan. See IRS Publication 936 to gure the amount you can deduct. Points paid for other purposes, such as for a
lender’s services, are not deductible.
Renancing. Generally, you must deduct points you paid to renance a mortgage over the life of the loan. This is true even if the new mortgage
is secured by your main home.
If you used part of the proceeds to improve your main home, you may be able to deduct the part of the points related to the improvement in the
year paid. See IRS Publication 936 for details.
