Return Rejected... Code "Fed_SchA_MortgageInterestPoints"

Just e-filed, and immediately got a email that my federal and state return is being rejected because of "Fed_SchA_MortgageInterestPoints - Your tax return needs an update for Itemized Deductions."

 

I didn't have any mortgage interest points and I took the standard deduction, not itemized. I submitted my Form 1098 and everything looks correct on there over to my return. Very confused.

I just spent the last 2 weeks getting all this done, and now I am stuck waiting for an answer. Please anyone?

Since you are not taking itemized deductions you can delete this Form using the following Steps:

 

  1. Select Tax Tools from the menu on the left.
  2. Then select Tools.
  3. When the new menu pops up select Delete a Form.
  4. You will see a list of all the forms in your return.
  5. Find the form that you want to delete.
  6. Select the Form.
  7. Click Delete on the right

However, review your State returns closely to see if deductions from Form 1098 will benefit you on the State Tax returns and add these deductions in the State Interview section of your return. You can use your 2021 State returns as a guide/reference.
