Should I get a home equity loan to pay off back taxes?

devin066 asked:


I need to pay off about $30,000 in back taxes. Is it better to take out a home equity loan, cash in stock, or borrow or liquidate a 401K?

      The upside of the HEL is that all payments you make on it are tax deductible, which is nice at tax time.

      Downside is the risk involved with HEL since the loan is secured by your home. If you can’t make the payments, you could lose you home.

      The HEL is a better option than cashing in stock, and definitely better than borrowing from a 401k. Those investments could be worth big money one day, and cashing them in now could really impact your financial security down the road.

      In addition to the HEL, check out HELOC’s too (Home Equity Line of Credit). Works a little differently that the HEL, gives a little more flexibility.
