What is the minimum interest rate that the IRS will allow on a home mortgage?
The IRS sets a minimum rate that can be charged for a home mortgage. That number has a special name which escapes me. Anybody know?
Thanks

You may be chitchat about the imputed interest rules.
If you are unloading or making payments for a loan or installment sale, but little or no interest is stated on the contract, the IRS assumes a rate of interest based on the published applicable federal rate. For instance, if you sold some ground on an installment sale and agreed to receive the payments over a 10-year period interest free, the IRS would determine that part of the pack of your sales price was in truth interest and calculate the interest amount based on the applicable federal rate.
There are some loans exempt from the impute interest rules, (1) the $10,000 gift loan exception and (2) the $100,000 gift loan exception. See irs.gov for details.
