The BEST tax videos on TH-cam!

Say you paid ALOT more than $2,500 in interest one year. can you continuously claim the $2,500 in the following years until you reach what you have truly paid in interest? for example if I paid 10k in interest in 2023. Can I claim 2.5k for the next 4 years for the interest I paid in 2023?

[@TheTaxGeek]

No, unfortunately. The interest can only be deducted in the year you pay it.

TH-cam can be spotty when it comes to sending notifications, but I'm glad you finally found the video.

Does contributing to a 401k count towards reducing my MAGI for this tax deduction?

[@TheTaxGeek]

Diverting more money to your 401(k) will reduce your Adjusted Gross Income, as will contributing to an IRA.
