    AMT Question

    I'm still dealing with mortgage interest not allowed on the 6251 on a couple of returns. It's been very hard because of many refi's, accounting for the amount paid off, the points in the various years, etc.

    Now I have a question about a timeshare as a second home. You add back into AMT mortgage interest on a non qualified dwelling. A qualified dwelling is any house, apartment, condominium, or mobile home not used on a transient basis.

    Do you think that a timeshare is by definition used on a transient basis?
    Transient: "Remaining in a place only a brief time: transient laborers. ...
    One that is transient, especially a hotel guest or boarder who stays for only a brief time."
    It sounds like it doesn't it?

    The term "transient basis" is used in the context of mobile homes. If it is a mobile home, it does not qualify if it is the kind that gets moved around all the time, such as an RV or a fifth wheel, or park model that may get moved from location to location while on vacation. The dwelling unit has to be fixed at a permanent location.

    In other words, "transient" refers to the home being moved around, not the people moving in and out of it all the time.

      Good answer

      OK, the place not the person. Got it.
