Each situation is unique and you should consult a tax advisor, but generally, Reverse Mortgages provide tax-free income through the equity release from your home.

Money from a Reverse Mortgage is tax deductable, in the manner of a normal mortgage. However, unlike a normal mortgage, you cannot normally write off the interest accrued on a reverse mortgage until you actually repay the loan.
