First year partial rental in 2022 with refinance in 2020

My case:

  • Bought a condo in 2016 as my primary with lender A.
  • Refinanced with lender B in 2020.
  • Started renting it out on 09/15/2022 (moved to a new condo).

Question: How to treat the cost of the original mortgage and the refinance? 

  • Should both mortgage costs (title-related costs, attorney fees for each time, origination charges/application fees, recording fee, etc, all happened twice) be added together when it comes to the cost base?
  • If not, which one is to be treated as amortized, and how treat the other one? Expense vs amortized?
  • How to do in Turbotax? See nowhere to enter refinance cost.

Thanks
