Deductions & credits

I need to take this a step farther.

 

For January, you can deduct the interest on the original mortgage but not the HELOC.  For Feb-December, you deduct a percentage of the interest equal to the percentage of acquisition debt.  When first refinanced, the acquisition debt is $100,000/$115,000 = 86.9%.  However, you can consider that you pay off the equity debt first, so by December, your total loan balance might be $112,000, which is 89.3% acquisition debt.  You can average those two values to get the overall deduction for 2020 of 88.1%.  Turbotax should do this calculation for you but that's how it's supposed to work.
