Are the tracing rules still in effect under TCJA ? Taxpayer has a primary residence FMV 3 million with no mortgage. Taxpayer decides to mortgage the primary residence for 1.5 million in order to purchase an apartment house.
Would the interest on the mortgage be deductible on a schedule E even though the underlying property which is mortgaged is the primary residence and not the apartment house ?
