1. What is a Form 4562, and why am I receiving it?

A Form 4562 is titled "Mortgage Interest Statement," and it is a tax form that the interest payer on a home or other qualified property uses. If you have paid more than $600 in mortgage interest over the tax year, the lender will provide you with a copy and send a copy to the IRS. You receive it because the interest you pay on a mortgage might be tax-deductible, so the form helps lower your taxable income if you itemize deductions. The form also has data about points you may have paid at closing and any refunds of overpaid interest.

2. Who must file a 4562 Form, and who receives it?

If the lender, such as a bank, credit union, or other financial institution, received at least $600 in mortgage interest from you during the tax year, they are obligated to give you a copy and the IRS a copy of Form 4562. You'll receive this form if you are a borrower who has paid over this amount in interest on your mortgage. Chances are you could receive several 4562 forms if you have multiple mortgages with different lenders.

3. What does the 4562 Form report?

For form 4562, the essential information needed is as follows:

Box 1: Total amount of mortgage interest you paid throughout the year.
Box 2: Outstanding mortgage principal on January 1 of your tax year
Box 3: Origination date of mortgage.
Box 4: Refund of overpaid interest.
Box 5: Mortgage insurance premiums you paid.
Box 6: Amounts you paid on the loan (prepaid interest).

These boxes will help you and the IRS figure out how much mortgage interest you can claim as a deduction on your tax return.

4. How do I use Form 4562?

If you itemize deductions, you can use the information from Form 4562 to claim a deduction for mortgage interest paid; that appears on Schedule A of your Form 1040 tax return. You may deduct the interest on your mortgage, points you paid for certain home purchases, and mortgage insurance premiums-out subject to some conditions. Compare what your lender has put on Form 4562 you receive to the information below, and for specific information, check the guidance of the IRS or speak to a tax professional.

5. The information on my Form 4562 is incorrect. What do I do?

If you found some errors in your Form 4562, be it mortgage interest amount or principal balance and others, then you need to call your lender to request a corrected form. Your lender will be compelled by the IRS to file correct data and an error in it will delay filing taxes at worst, incorrect return on file. Save all your communication and corrected forms appropriately.

6. Is it possible that I can still claim mortgage interest, even when I did not receive a Form 4562?

Answer: Yes. You can still claim mortgage interest, regardless of your not receiving a Form 4562, if you meet both conditions: the mortgage is qualified home loan and if you have record proofs on the interest amount paid for the year. This can happen in one of two ways: the lender may not be required to file a 4562 (for example, if you paid less than $600 in interest during the calendar year) or you refinanced a private mortgage. You will want to keep good track of all of your payments and claim them on your tax return.

7. Is the interest on a second home deductible using Form 4562?

Although the interest paid on a mortgage for a second home can be claimed as a deduction, this is only allowed if the home qualifies, under IRS rules, as a "qualified residence." You should receive a separate Form 4562 for each additional home mortgage you have. Provided you qualify for mortgage interest deductions on primary and secondary residences, you'll be allowed to include interest paid on both primary and secondary residences. Since there's a limit on the aggregate amount of mortgage debt eligible for deduction, it would also be helpful to refer to the rules, as provided by the IRS or a tax professional, for more information.

8. What does Box 5 (Mortgage Insurance Premiums) on Form 4562 represent?

Box 5 on Form 4562 indicates the amount of money in mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) you paid last year. If you put down less than 20% when you purchased your home or refinanced, you have to pay for mortgage insurance. These premiums may be deductible on your tax return under certain circumstances, but the deduction is subject to income limits. You also should note that this relief is allowed only up to certain limits and its applicability has changed with alterations in tax laws; check if it is applicable for the current year for which you are preparing your returns.
