    Generally, any interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage is considered interest on home equity debt and isn’t deductible.

    Also, the itemized deduction for mortgage insurance premiums has expired. You can no longer claim the deduction.

     

    For more information, check: Publication 936 (2023), Home Mortgage Interest Deduction
