Reverse Mortgages ~ Is Reverse Mortgage Income Taxable? - Part 5

Is My Reverse Mortgage Taxable?

Money received from a reverse mortgage is not taxable as additional income. Remember, this is a loan you are taking out. This is already your money, so to speak. A reverse mortgage does not affect regular social security income. A reverse mortgage also does not affect Medicare benefits.

One thing you may want to do to be certain a reverse mortgage does not affect any other important areas of your life, is to contact your local Agency on Aging.  A toll-free number for this office is 1-800-677-1116. You may also visit www.eldercare.gov for more information.
