If you had two lenders during a single year, with interest paid to each lender, both lenders should issue you a Form 1098 next year.
If you only paid interest to the lender that paid off the original loan, then you can expect to receive just one 1098 and no interest to split between lenders. If you took cash back, that will decrease the amount of interest you may deduct.
In either situation, answer all of the interview questions completely and accurately in the Mortgage Interest section and TurboTax will calculate the deductible interest.
TurboTax will ask the question "Did you use the loan for anything besides paying off the existing loan?" when you identify that a loan was a refinance of a previous loan. The current law doesn't allow you to deduct amounts as interest on a principal residence that were not incurred to buy or improve the property.
Check your loan records or your prior year returns to determine how much of the loan proceeds were used other than to pay off the prior loan.
Any secured debt you use to refinance home acquisition debt is treated as home acquisition debt. However, the new debt will qualify as home acquisition debt only up to the amount of the balance of the old mortgage principal just before the refinancing. Any additional debt not used to buy, build, or substantially improve a qualified home isn't home acquisition debt.
