Deductions & credits

the rule is based on the date the loan was taken out.....so you are limited to $750,000 for full interest deduction. 

 

however, over time, all the interest will become deductible as the loan amortizes.

 

the IRS assumes that the part over $750,000 is what amortizes first so what is deductible is  $750,000 / loan balance * interest.   That percent will continue to increase towards 100% as the 'loan balance' decreases towards $750,000.
