Rental property mortgage interest on Schedule A

[MarkM]

If a taxpayer's AGI is too high to deduct a rental loss, can the mortgage interest on the rental property go on Schedule A?

[Pacun]

I don't think so.

[Terry D EA]

I'm with Pacun on this one. Any mortgage interest on rental property that is used for investment purposes is deductible on Sch E subject to the loss limitations.

Simple answer - No.

[DANRVAN]

It could be deducted on Sch A only if it qualified as a second home:  personal use more than the greater of 14 days or 10% of the days it was rented.
