Deductions & credits

PUB 936 is poorly written because it doesn't cover your situation which is quite common.  using example 1 in the pub as a basis (the 180K second mortgage proceeds use d to improve house  taken out 3/2/2022 monthly balance 1,800,000 (180K X 10) average balance $150K  1.8M/12 

 

i would say your average balance is $480K*10/12 + $1.1M * 5/12 which  is about $858K

so your deduction would be 750/858 times the total of the interest
