If I refinance my bank loan through an individual investor, can I still deduct the interest on my federal taxes?

I am considering refinancing my bank loan on my home with an individual investor. Can I deduct the interest on my taxes? If so, what type of transcation or documentation must I complete to ensure I can deduct the interest? by noel.laroque from Boise, Idaho. Sep 24th 2009 Reply

You shoule be able to deduct the interest. All you need is a valid promissory note that outlines the loan amount, interest rate you will be paying and the term.

You can but I recommend he give you an annual statement showing interest charges similar to what the big banks issue. I think it's a 1098 statement?
