Mortgage interest on a second home is deductible on schedule A as an itemized deduction, even if the second home is located outside the U.S. However, if you reside in the U.S. and the lender is a foreign person/bank, then you are required to withhold 30% tax on the interest portion of the payments, unless a lower treaty rate applies. Depending on the jurisdiction, a treaty may apply to reduce or eliminate the withholding tax. However, if you want to rely on the treaty, you need to obtain a Form W-8BEN from the foreign lender where the lender certifies that it qualifies for treaty benefits. In either case, you will need to also file Form 1042 and 1042-S reporting that you made interest payments to foreign persons.
