Estate
QUESTION: My husband
and I want to lend money to
our son and his wife to help
them buy a house. 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.
