    California did not conform to the temporary changes under TCJA, so mortgage interest on up to $1 million of acquisition debt and $100K of equity debt is still deductible.

    See the instructions for Schedule CA(540). The additional CA mortgage interest deduction is added to the federal Schedule A amount, increasing the total CA itemized deductions, which (if greater than the standard deduction) are then subtracted from CA AGI, decreasing the total CA taxable income.
