Same question for me, but interest was actual paid out of
S-Corp checking account. So it seems S-Corp would deduct it
as expense, and it would not show up on Sched A.

Of course you have the option (barring any rules that might
limit the deduction) to deducting said interest on schedule
a.

But the preferred way is for the corporation to deduct it on
page one. And this can be done IF a certain election is
filed with the return.

See your local tax pro for details. that is IF he knows
what you're talking about.

You record the interest in two places:

(1) Interest deduction on Schedule A, either as home
mortgage interest, if it's on an equity balance of under
$100,000 or as investment interest.

(2) The interest portion of the payments the corporation
makes to you are interest income reported on Schedule B. If
the note between you and the corporation don't provide for
an interest rate at least equal to the applicable federal
rate, you will need to impute (calculate) what the interest
would be.

Unless your total income is high enough to start the phase
out of itemized deductions, it will probably be a wash on
your personal return, the S corporation gets an interest
deduction, and the bank gets repaid.

Took out a home equity loan for $50K and immediately loaned
the money to my S-corp.

Where on the 1040 do I deduct the interest on the equity
loan payments?

Or should the corp make the loan payments and deduct the
interest on the 1120-S?
