How to enter interest itemization from Equity Credit Line Towards home purchase downpayment which is tax deductible

Hi I bought a condo in july 2024 paying for the downpaymentsolelyby borrowing from an liquidity access line.

 

How do I enter this deduction inside Turbotax. The deductible interest is from interest paid on a downpayment borrowed against stocks (credit line) which was used for a home purchase downpayment. 

 

The credit line has 8.9% interest and the amount borrowed is ~200k

Interest from the Liquidity Access Line is only deductible on a tax return as an itemized deduction reported on Schedule A if the funds were used for investment purposes and then only up to the amount of your net investment income.

 

Since the funds were used to purchase a personal residence and not for investment purposes, the interest paid is not deductible.

Only interest on loans that were secured by the personal residence would be deductible on a tax return.
