Are there any tax implications? ANSWER: Yes. Make sure that your son and daughter-in- law can deduct the interest they pay you. You can do this by hiring a lawyer to draft a mortgage agreement. Draw ing up a simple I.O.U. instead of a mortgage will not suffice. The reason for this is that in terest on a mortgage secured by a principal residence is ful- ly tax deductible. Interest on a personal loan is not. If you charge your son and daughter-in-law the fair mar ket interest rate, they will be able to deduct the interest they pay from their taxable income. Of course, you must report the interest YOU collect as tax able income. The rules are much more complex if you loan children more than $ 10.(XX) and charge a below-market interest rate or none at all. Consult an accoun tant if this is your intention.
