Not sure I understand your question, but I believe it was changed to be up $750,000.  Not sure about timing, etc.  Ask an accountant...and they may not know yet until next year.

You need to ask a mortgage lender this question... and I'm sure it's a bit premature to have all the answers as yet.

''Mortgage interest deductions: The new law caps the limit on deductible mortgage debt at $750,000 for loans taken out after Dec. 14. (Loans made before that date can continue to deduct interest on mortgage debt up to $1 million.) Homeowners can refinance mortgage debts that existed before Dec. 14 up to $1 million and still deduct the interest as long as the new loan does not exceed the amount refinanced. The interest on a home-equity loan can be deducted as long as the proceeds are used to substantially improve the home. Mortgage interest on second homes can be deducted but is subject to the $750,000 limit.''

 

my favorite part this: 

Estate tax: The law doubles the estate tax exemption to $11.2 million.

 

Doubles! Here we go...

In reviewing the 500 page Cliff Notes on the tax bill, the conclusion was those living in the big houses or high tax states get to pay more.

Those are the same states with extreme leftist views.
