S-Corp and Investment Interest Expense

If an S-Corp deducts interest borrowed by the owners to fund the business, can the owners also claim the interest paid an investment interest expense on their personal return?

No, the owners can't deduct interest that is deducted by the business, as that would mean you were deducting the same interest twice.

To be clear, the S-Corp deducted the interest paid as a business expense in determining net income.
