Tax Issues with Refinancing
A "No Closing Cost" loan will not incur a charge for points, and thus no deduction for that expense, however the loss is trivial. In a refinance transaction, points must be amortized over the life of the loan. For example, on a 30-year loan you can deduct 1/30th of the points paid each year. If you refinance a second time however, you can deduct the remaining unamortized points in the year you refinance the loan. Consult your tax advisor for more information. | |
