Business-loan interest may be deductible when it relates to business use, depending on how the funds are used and how the activity is taxed. Principal repayments generally are not deductible. If a loan serves both business and personal purposes, the interest generally needs to be allocated between them. Real-estate and construction projects can have additional timing or capitalization rules. Some businesses may be excepted from the Section 163(j) interest limit. For tax years beginning in 2026, the small-business test uses average annual gross receipts of $32 million or less over the prior three years. Additional eligibility rules and exceptions apply, and the threshold can change each year. The threshold alone does not determine whether a specific interest expense is deductible. This is general information, not tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional about your situation.
Fee treatment depends on the charge and the loan structure. Some fees may be deductible; others may be treated as interest or original issue discount (OID), or capitalized and deducted over time rather than all at once. Real-estate and construction financing can have additional capitalization rules. The right treatment depends on the loan documents and your facts. This is general information, not tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional about your situation.
