My (NON-CPA) understanding is this:2 years ago, you could:-Write off the up front mortgage insurance premium-Write off the monthly mortgage insurance premium-You were "grandfathered" into these rules if you bought your home using FHA back then, so you can continue to write off the monthly premium-MIP falls off at 78% of LTVUsing FHA today:-Up front premium no longer tax deductible-Monthly MIP no longer tax deductible-MIP NEVER goes away, regardless of LTVAgain, I suggest you consult with a licensed tax advisor to confirm all of this is precisely accurate.
