Yes, mortgage interest deduction is still in effect up to 750k of principle, but you only claim mortgage interest when itemizing. So unless your itemized deductions exceed the 24K standard deduction for married couples, then you can't claim it. For me, I've itemized ever since we bought the house, but for 2018 taxes I'll come out ahead taking the new standard deduction.
