I received a 1098 mortgage interest statement for a camper I just purchased, can I claim this on my income tax

Question

I bought it in May of 2006,no points were paid on purchase so I paid on it for around 6 mo. I received a statement on interest I paid so far.

Answer 1

If you executed your loan between December 1, 2006, and December 31, 2006, you probably did not make any payments on the mortgage. You probably paid a point on the mortgage which is tax deductible, if you use Schedule A.

Answer 2

Yes you can, if this is your second home. You can deduct mortgage interest on up to two homes at a time.

Include the mortgage interest on Schedule A.
