Deductions & credits

Yes, you can write off the interest paid on both loans.

 

Please check the information you put into TurboTax for the second loan you took out.  In box 2 it is asking the balance of the mortgage as of 1/1/2019.  The answer for that box is $0.  If you have the $650,000 in that box that is why the program is reducing the amount of your interest deduction.

 

Change the amount in Box 2 and the full amount of mortgage interest you paid in 2019 will be deducted.
