Interest paid, and how much is deductible
Each loan's interest split by where its money went (the trace). Estimates at today's balances and rates; the lender's 1098 or statements govern.
| Loan | Interest a year | Traced to investment | Investment | Home | Personal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Mortgage | $26,319 est. | 0% | $0 | $26,319 | $0 |
| Rental Mortgage | $23,164 est. | 100% | $23,164 | $0 | $0 |
| Maple Family Trust line | $5,800 est. | 100% | $5,800 | $0 | $0 |
| Auto Loan | $537 est. | 0% | $0 | $0 | $537 |
Investment interest $28,964 est., of which 23% is deductible this year ($6,562, limited by net investment income); $22,402 carries forward.
| Line | Amount | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|

| Carryforward to next year (estimate) | $22,402 | Investment interest + carryforward − deduction allowed |

Basis-quality notes
What to check before relying on the figures above
- 1% of the market book (by value) has no cost basis on file, so later sales from it can't be estimated.
- Holdings worth $183,957 have no buy date, so a sale's term (short or long) can't be told until their lots are on file.
