Is it required that the mortgage interest and real estate taxes paid on a vacation home be reported on schedule E. I know the order of expenses for vacation homes are 1.interest and taxes 2.operating expenses 3.depreciation. Does is state specifically that the taxes and interest must go on schedule E or can they all go on schedule A. I have a client who would benefit more from having 100% deducted on schedule A instead of the personal use %. He has enough operating expenses to cover the rental income. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
