No. It is a return of (your) capital.

Does partnership payment count as income for me?

No, for the reason above.

Can I deduct the > interest I am paying on my home equity
loan on my personal return?

Provided you meet all other requirements for a home equity
loan, yes. This has nothing to do with the business.

Why can't this be looked at as a loan to the partnership by
a partner? The funds were used as startup capital so this
brings another twist to the plot.

Assuming you, not the partnership, are responsible for
repayment of the loan: Sice the partnership did not borrow
the money from you, I would say that the payments to you
from the partnership are income distriubutions to you as a
partner. You would deduct your home equity interest as an
itemized deduction (aasuming a 1st or 2nd home & w/in
allowable limits).

Default How to account for interest expense in partnership

My start up capital contribution to a partnership comes from
a home equity loan. I get reimbursed by the partnership for
the interest I am paying on the loan. Is this payment
counted as interest expense for the partnership? Does
partnership payment count as income for me? Can I deduct the
interest I am paying on my home equity loan on my personal
return?
