Mortgage interest and property taxes paid in Canada deductible forCalifornia US resident buying property in Canada - Joan Marsh
You sent me this e-mail
awhile back. Thanks for the guidance.
I have a followup
question – what if we rent out the home in Vancouver and
still live in CA? Can we still deduct the interest from the mortgage on that
home in Vancouver?
We currently own and
live in a home in CA.
Thanks and kind
regards,

You would then have a
rental in Canada and would file a Section 216(4) Canadian non-resident rental
return each.
Then you would
transfewr the figures to Schedule E of your US return. If you had made a
profit and paid any tax to Canada, you would claim a foreign tax credit on US
form 1116 attached to your 1040.
It would also go on
your California 540 return.

QUESTION:
We are a Canadian couple living in California
and are interested in buying a
home in Vancouver. Is it true that the
mortage interest and property tax we
pay in Canada can be deductible from our
US income tax? Do we need to get
the financing from a US institution, does it
matter?

Assuming that the home is
empty and is merely a home away from home, you can deduct the interest and
property taxes on your US return if your second home is in Florida, Cost Rica,
Brazil, London, Berlin, Madrid. Lima or Good Olde Vancouver or
Whistler.
You can get your
financing from anyone that will give it to you. A Mortgage Broker I
can recommend without reservation is Joan Marsh. She does not use email
but has a fax, etc. You can get hold of her at (604)
