It may have been limited if the mortgage loan exceeds $750,000 ( $375,000 if married filing separate) and if your mortgage was originated after 2017.  You are only allowed to claim interest for the first $750,000 of the loan balance. 

 

Before 2017, IRS allowed a mortgage interest for up to $1M in loan balance but reduced with advent of the TCJA legislation in 2017.
