Guidelines for allocating interest expense provided in new temporary regulations
Article Abstract:
The IRS has released temporary regulations (Temp. Reg. 1.163-8T) covering allocation of interest costs for purposes of applying investment interest, passive loss, and personal interest limitations.

The disbursement of the debt proceeds to given expenditures is traced to allocate the debt.
