Only the difference. You don't get to double-dip.

Default Apportioning mortgage interest between Sch. A and Sch. E

I own a condo. I stay in 1 room and rented out the other for
the whole of 2004. I paid $14000.00 in mortgage interest
last year. I'm taking a deduction in Sch. E for 30% of the
mortgage i.e. $4200.00 against the rental income. (The 30%
is based on room size.)

My question is, should I put the difference ($14000 - $4200
= $9800) on my Sch. A for a deduction, or can I put in the
entire $14000 that I paid for the mortgage ?

Thanks in advance for the advice,
Gregg.
