Hi,



Can you deduct the interest you pay when the owner is financing you, just like when you can deduct the mortgage interest for tax purposes.



thanks...

    He should send you a 1098.

    Negatory on that, Chris. You have to provide a 1098 by January 31 (just like any other lender) and send that (along with a 1096--Transmittal Form) to the IRS by February 28. No amortization schedule is required to be sent, though.

    This company mostly sells potatoes, so I guess the land sale was not in its normal course of business.
