New Tax Deductibility Rules

Answered by: 

Question: 
What are the new rules concerning tax deductibility when advertising home equity products?
Answer: 

Certain home equity plans were affected by a change in the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. This changed TILA itself and Reg Z (Section 226.16) has changed as well. The advertisements must include a statement that the interest on any portion of the credit extension that is greater than the fair market value of the dwelling is not deductible for Federal income tax purposes.
