Tax Deductible*
Eligible homeowners with annual adjusted gross incomes of $100,000 or less can deduct their MI premiums from their federal income tax returns through December 31, 2021. Homeowners with incomes between $100,000-$109,000 may be eligible for a tax break.
*Homeowners should consult their tax advisors to determine if they’re eligible to claim the MI deduction.
