My individual client took out a personal loan to purchase a partnership interest.  Is the loan interest deductible to him in any way on his 1040?

Yes, he took out a personal bank loan to buy into a medical practice, which is an LLC taxed as a partnership.  Would that loan and the related interest expense still considered to be investment?


Is he a working doctor in the practice? If yes, then UPE.

If no, then F4952

UPE on Sch E, page 2.  Separate line item is *my* preference.

@John Arena tomorrow when they ask you to accept a response as a solution make sure you give abc credit for that... Many accountants have never seen that...

Is he A) a managing partner of the business or B) is it merely an investment interest?

A) UPE like was said;

B) Investment interest on Schedule A after F4952.

Not a managing partner, just a limited partner (LLC member).

So he borrowed money for an investment. F4952.
