Yes, you may claim mortgage interest deduction on a loan used to buy/build a home up to $750,000 for married filing joint ($375,000 for married filing separate).

- Under " Home Loan deduction summary" click edit and enter the lender's information, one at a time.
- Click continue until you get to the screen " Is this loan secured by a property of yours?"
- Click Done.
- The next screen is a question " Do any of the situation apply to you?". Your answer here will determine if your loan exceeded the allowed home mortgage loan amount.
