> You can write off loan interest.

Which only matters if you somehow go above the crazy high $25k standard deduction.

I am fairly well off and have kids and student loan debt to write off interest on as well, but I've never broke $19k in write offs.

So, unless you have a business or something, the interest write off is kinda useless.



You must live in a low CoL state? I'm easily above that, 10k for state taxes and paying 20k in interest a year isn't that much.

Ish...

2500 in property tax (house is >100yrs old), and 3.125% interest on a loan w/$285k left on the mortgage.

> 10k for state taxes

Are you saying you can write off your state taxes?


It's capped, but yeah. That's the SALT tax cap that has been a point of political contention.
