Yes, the state of California is allowing taxpayers to deduct the mortgage interest for loans up to $1.000.000 rather than $750,000. The additional mortgage interest adjustment on the state return is a deduction for the disallowed portion of mortgage interest from the federal return.

Thanks so much ! Regarding to the "additional mortgage interest adjustment on the state return", could you please help give one example ? My understanding is if in 2018, my mortgage is $800,000 and the interest i $18,000, for the adjustment, i will need fill $18,000 as these interests are disallowed in the Federal return ? or do i need fill $50,000 which is $800,000 minus $750,000
