Is the interest on $200k home equity loan used to buy a new primary residence deductible on Sch A?
Rajan A asked:
We are planning to rent our existing home and pull $200k equity from that home to buy a new primary residence. I am not clear about the $100k deductible limit on the home-equity loans. Can I deduct it on Sch A or against the rental income and is the deductible equity loan capped at $100k. We file married jointly and our AGI is $160k.
