Watch this MSN report: "Heads up, homeowners: Mortgage interest deduction on Trump's chopping block" and see my thoughts below:
The concept of mortgage interest deduction sounds sexy, the harsh reality is that you are paying $1 to save 33 cents. That is a net loss of 67 cents. Granted you get the value of a roof over your head, but that simply minimizes the cost of the roof over your head. Keep in mind as the report mentions, there is a small percentage of people that get to take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction. For people who need more money in their pocket the most (a greater percentage of the population) this will have no change to their tax return. I say, let’s get rid of it!
