My coworker paid $15,000 in interest on her $300,000 acquisition debt for her house, which has a fair market value of $500,000. She also paid $4,000 interest on her $30,000 home equity loan, $1,000 of credit card interest, and $3,000 of margin interest for stock purchase. She had $10,000 in interest income and no investment expenses. We were talking and I think she could deduct $23,000 in interest expenses. She is thinking a $19,000 deduction. Help.

My mother inherited half of a farm in NY when my father died in 2003. The farm is now being sold for $80,000, with $40,000 going to my mother. Is there any tax or penalties for my mother on this inheritance, especially since she is on a fixed income and needs to use some of the money for medical bills? What is the best way to handle this?
