Mackenzie · Answer 1

The correct amount here is C) $750,000.

Explanation:

The acquisition debt is a financial obligation which is incurred by a person when a primary or secondary residence is purchased or even if any improvement is being made to the residence. The IRS has given certain tax advantages as per the tax cuts and job act, where the home owners are allowed a deduction up to $750,000 on the home loans.
