I don't think that margin interest is tax-deductible.

Is the law changed?

Margin interest is tax deducible to the extent that you have non-tax exempt investment income, i.e., interest, dividends. Capital gains/losses reported on Schedule D are generally not considered in "investment income." For more information, go to IRS website and download Publication 550. This topic is covered in Section 3, starting on page 29.

Hope this helps.
