    Because 12/15/2017 was the date of a tax law change regarding mortgages.

     

    If you bought the house before Dec. 16, 2017, you can deduct the interest you paid during the year on the first $1 million of the mortgage ($500,000 if married filing separately).

     

    You can deduct the mortgage interest you paid during the tax year on the first $750,000 of your mortgage debt for your primary home or a second home. If you are married filing separately, the limit drops to $375,000.
