You are allowed to deduct mortgage interest as part of your Schedule A Itemized Deductions for your main home plus one additional home. Both homes do not have to be occupied in order to deduct the mortgage interest.
If the property in question is a rental property that has been placed in service, then the mortgage interest would be deducted as part of Schedule E Rental Income and Expenses.
