Mortgage Interest Limit Worksheet for Acquired Loan

parvitstax
Level 5

I have one mortgage for 11 months $800k loan with $50k interest. In December, this loan was acquired and I paid $5k in interest. 

 

When I fill out the Mortgage Limit worksheet I enter the details for Loan 1 and Loan 2 but the calculations don't take into account the loan was acquired and my interest limit seems to be determined on a $1,600,000 loan (2 x $800k loans). Since this is the same loan essentially I combined the 2 loans and just entered them on Loan 1 column of the worksheet. Is this correct? Or is there another way to enter this type of loan acquisition?
