An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for classes of income.
HB 218 would allow Pennsylvania taxpayers to deduct mortgage insurance premiums from their personal income tax. The deduction applies to premiums paid for residential mortgage insurance, including coverage against loan default or nonpayment on home loans. Taxpayers can claim this deduction on their annual tax return, but it cannot reduce taxable income below zero. This change would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
