    Foreign mortgage interest deduction
    I am a Spanish citizen who lives and works here in the US since 2005. I have a mortgage in Spain for an apartment I bought 10 years ago. Since I don't have any income in Spain, I cannot deduct any interests for the mortgage there. Can I deduct those interests in my US taxes?

    Thank you for your answers in advance.

    Is the apartment a second home? If so, how much is the interest?

    Also, are you filing a joint return?

    If you need professional help filing your return, email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
