Deductions & credits

 

The Federal law limited the mortgage interest deduction acquisition debt maximum from $1,000,000 ($500,000 for married filing separately) to $750,000 ($375,000 for married filing separately). California does not conform to the Federal law.

 

If your mortgage acquisition debt exceeds $1,000,000 ($500,000 for married filing separately) to $750,000 ($375,000 for married filing separately). your mortgage interest was reduced on your Federal return. 

 

You would calculate the adjustment subtract the mortgage interests reported on the Schedule A from the mortgage interest reported on the Form 1098 from the mortgage lender.
