Could this be remotely construed as investment interest expense

[NECPA in NEBRASKA]

I'm pretty sure of the answer, because I can't find anything about it under when I looked it up, but my client doesn't want to listen to me. He paid accrued interest of $13,740.44 for something called Catch 62 for his creditable active military service. His brother, an ex revenue agent, told him that he is deducting his as investment interest expense to see if it will get through. I told my client to have his BIL send me the code to justify it. Apparently there isn't one. My answer is that the interest is not deductible, but if knows of any way that it would be a legitimate deduction, I would be happy to hear it.

Thanks!

Do a google search on Catch-62. There maybe some tax relief but not as investment interest.

Is Catch 62 just Catch 22 after adjusting for inflation?

I found plenty of information on it, but nothing that said that there was anything tax deductible about the interest paid. The client finally admitted tonight that he had been asking around and couldn't get anyone else to agree that it was investment interest.
