Can you get away with taking the loan origination fee on a refinance on your taxes?
Feb 4th
I know your supposed to extend it over the life of the loan but has anyone ever tried this and got away with it. I know its wrong but the IRS ***** and I don’t care. I just was wondering if I would get a letter if I took the whole amount?Submited by:Michael V
Is a loan from a relative to purchase property tax deductable?
Jan 27th
I am about to ask a relative for a loan to purchase a land parcel for a future home site. I am going to pay back the loan plus interest just as if it were from a financial institution. Is the interest tax deductible? What paperwork would we have to draw up? What forms would be required? Would he/she have to pay income tax on the earnings?

What happens if I paid off my entire student loan but they still applied my tax rebate to it?
Jan 7th
Misty Mcbinterbost Mcbontoppy asked:
I paid off my entire defaulted student loan at the beginning of this month. I even received a paid in full letter. But today I just got a letter from the IRS that my $600 was applied to that loan by offset!! Apparently there wasn’t enough time between when I paid off the loan and then getting my rebate. I just tried to call the Missouri Department of Education, which my loan is through, but they are closed for the day. Does anyone know if I can get my $600 back??? 
If I consolidate my student loan with a personal loan can I still write off the interest?
Jan 6th
I had a federal student loan which I consolidated about 8 years ago to someone who eventually sold that loan to Citibank. I pay about 8.35% in interest. I am considering paying off that student loan with a personal loan where I can get a better interest rate. If I do this will I still be able to write off the interest I pay on my taxes?Submited by:MLE

Is a loss from a personal loan the same tax category as a loss from stock investments?
Jul 10th
I loaned a friend some money several years ago to help start a business, and the business failed and I was not repaid for the loan. I also, the same year, had losses from other investments (in the stock market). My understanding is that I can only deduct $3000 in investment losses for that year. Is the personal loan in the same category as the other investments — in other words, does it count as part of the $3000 limit? Or is there a way I can claim that loss separately? Thanks!
