Deducting interest on revolving line of credit with both business and personal expenses

I have a credit card in my name that I primarily use for personal expenses but also have some business expenses on it. Can I deduct the interest on the business expenses? How do I figure out what portion of the balance is personal and what is business in order to find the amount of interest on the business expenses?

If you often charge business expenses, a separate credit card for business use only is best. To determine the amount of deductible interest paid on a mixed-use card, you would need to identify all of the business expenses paid and calculate the portion of the interest paid that was attributable to those expenses.
