2. The bill also (i) limits the deduction for interest incurred on debt used to acquire, construct or improve a principal residence to interest on up to $750,000 of debt (down from $1,000,000) and (ii) eliminates the deduction for interest on home equity debt. These caps apply beginning in 2018, but are scheduled to expire after 2025 under the Act, unless renewed before then.
