Nasty, Re: "Per Sec 163(h) of IRC, beginning in 1991 a deduction is not allowed for personal interest expense. Then it cites examples of personal interest expense: interest on credit-card debt..." . You are incorrect. 163(h) is NOT a valid cite that says that the interest incurred on credit card debt may not be investment interest expense. Specifically see IRC 163(h)(2)(A) IRC 163(h)(2)(B) IRC 163(h)(2)(C) . As an aside, your reading of EXAMPLES within IRC 163(h) is interestingly creative, as the code actually has NO SUCH EXAMPLES! (g) . Therefore, unless you have something further to back up your claim, it stands that CREDIT CARD (VISA, MasterCard etc) INTEREST CAN INDEED BE INVESTMENT INTEREST EXPENSE. See Reg. 1.163-8T(a)(3) . Colin
