Deductions & credits

The amount you can deduct is based on the combined debt for both houses since they are your personal houses and is limited to the amount of interest paid on a loan balance of $750,000, for loan starting after December 2017.

 

If one was a rental then the amount for the interest paid would be deducted on Schedule E and you could take the full amount of interest paid for your house up to the $750,000 and the full amount of interest paid for the rental property.

 

Can I deduct my mortgage?
