How do I account for home equity funds that were not used to build, buy or improve the main home when the loan is refinanced the next year?

My client refinanced in 2019 and used $100K to payoff credit card debt.  When rates dropped in 2020, he refinanced the entire loan and I'm not sure how to account for the $100K in the software since it was refinanced into a new home loan.

100K/total loan times total interest = nondeductible interest.

You can use the excess mortgage computation section in Lacerte and it will do the calculation.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
