Hi, client had a mortgage of $500K. Refinanced $900K where the excess was not used towards the principal residence, so not deductible. Total interest paid $20K. What's the best way to calculate the deductible interest? Do I just pro-rate based on principal amount?

Here is a link to 2022 pub 936. You need to research yourself, as you provide very few details. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p936
