My incredicbly faulty memory thinks Schedule E. There is a previous thread on this.

Treasury Regulations, Subchapter A, Sec. 1.163-8T

Or in simpler terms, interest on debt used to acquire an ownership interest in a pass through entity in which you materially participate is deductible as business interest to the extent of business income.

I am assuming an s-corp qualifies as a pass-through. Is it deducted on schedule A?

Schedule E
