Deductions & credits

@espencerito1 rather simple... it's the average monthly balance.  you are well below $750k. 

 

$650K /12 *8   + $300k /12* 4 months = $533k.  It'll actually be less than that due to amortization since the origination of the mortgage.  All the interest is deductible. 

 

then there is the 8 months interest related to the $300k mortgage that goes on Sch E.
