Deducting Mortgage Interest

[Chris S.]

I own a two family---live in one half and rent out the other half.

I have losses on the rented half -due to expenses , mortgage interest, etc exceeding rent.

My accountant tells me that i can't deduct this loss on the rental due to I and my wife's AGI exceeding the limits.

The accountant is only deducting half of my mortgage interest on my itemized deductions.

Can I move the other half of mortgage interest (from the rental) to my itemized deductions?

Thanks!
