Is interest on a transferred balance to a refinanced HELOC (which was all acquisition debt on the prior HELOC) tax deductible?

Mortgage Interest Limits are not an issue here.  HELOC interest limits are not an issue.

The key here is that a HELOC was refinanced in 2014 AND THAT THE REFINANCED HELOC STARTED with a balance from the original HELOC.  So, the question is can the starting balance be treated as acquisition debt?  It would be acquisition debt if the original were still in effect.

Yes.

As long as the loan amount is 100% from buying or improving the home, it tax deductible (up to the limits).  Refinancing does not change that.
