The location of the house does not matter. The IRS allows you to deduct mortgage interest on two houses, so if you own a house in California, you can still deduct mortgage interest on a house in Ohio if you are able to itemize deductions.
Mortgage interest paid on a second residence used personally is deductible as long as the mortgage satisfies the same requirements for deductible interest as on a primary residence.
See Real Estate (Taxes, Mortgage Interest, Points, Other Property Expenses)
You can deduct all property taxes paid.
California allows you to claim the better of the standard or itemized deductions. TurboTax will carry your itemized deductions to your state return and select the best option for you.
