Deductions & credits

Hi @KarenM90 

 

My original loan was in 2016 for $1.17 million for 30 years.  I'm refinancing now in 2020, to lower my rate on a new 30 year mortgage.  My principal at time of refinance is $1.01 million.  I'm borrowing an additional $4k for closing costs.  My understanding from is:

1. I can continue to deduct the interest on the $1.01 million (adjusted proportionally to the old $1 million debt cap) for the remaining duration of the refinance loan

2. I cannot deduct interest on the $4k for closing costs.

 

Is my understanding correct?
