The private mortgage insurance allows the borrower to acquire a mortgage in which the down payment is less than twenty percent. The borrowers pay the private mortgage out of their pocket. Now, the private mortgage insurance is tax deductible for US residents. Actually, the mortgage insurance is either government or private. Whether the mortgage insurance is government or private, the mortgage insurance is tax deductible.

To acquire the mortgage insurance is an alternative for piggyback second mortgage. The piggyback second mortgage is plain simply a second mortgage. The borrower acquires another mortgage on top of the first mortgage for down payment. The tax deductible applies for modest income earners. That means the borrower earns up to $100,000. In case the borrower earns over the $100,000, the borrower can only write off the private mortgage insurance partially.

Additionally, the tax deductible only applies to new mortgage. The mortgage financing must have happen in the calendar year 2007. Unless the borrower made a mortgage refinancing for the mortgage on or after the calendar year 2007, the tax deductible will not be allowed.

This is good news to the millions of Americans. Millions of Americans pays for the mortgage insurance. The mortgage insurance only cancels out when the home equity or total amount paid goes over twenty percent of the principal amount.

More importantly, the mortgage insurance will be made affordable with this turn of event.

Like the mortgage interest tax deduction, the mortgage insurance tax deduction benefits millions of American. Now, the borrowers or home owners have a choice between mortgage interests of second mortgage or mortgage insurance premiums as tax deduction.
