    Hi I have an investment property.

    I have done a refinance of the loan/cash out to clean the slate and all refinanced monies are in an offset account.

    If I use these funds from the offset account for non deductible purposes, does that make the interest accumulating on the loan non deductible or deductible?

    I believe this is correct. The refinanced extra cash you have is only tax deduction if used for investment purposes.
