The deduction is only available for PMI premiums paid on the original loan for homes and condos purchased between 2007 and 2010. You can deduct the PMI as mortgage insurance but must deduct it evenly over 84 months.
Home owners with an adjusted gross income of up to $100,000 can deduct all 100% of the PMI, the deduction is phased out to an adjusted gross income of $110,000.
PMI premiums usually run about $750 per year for every $100,000 owed.
