Answer 1

For regular tax purposes, with regard to the itemized deduction for qualified residence interest, home equity indebtedness incurred during a year: Is limited to $100,000 on a joint income tax return.

Explanation:

The debt of household property is entitled to a joint return of $100,000. Home equity debt is any mortgage not obtained by a qualifying property.  

The reasonable market value of the home shall not be greater than that of the purchase loan or the lesser amount of $100,000.  

The debt to purchase, create, and substantially improve a qualifying residence is the debt owed in the purchasing, construction and securing of such house (a 1 million dollars limited).  

The certain value on debt that outperforms these limits can not be subtracted.
