For Form 1098, where is Box 8?
I'm trying to enter all of the information from a Form 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement, but I can't get TurboTax to show me Box 8 (where I should enter the property address). How do I enter the address? Note: There are two loans, one for a primary home and one for a secondary home.

The mortgage lender puts box 8 on the 1098 that the IRS gets a copy of. Only the dollar amounts go on a tax return that you file. The 1098 "Mortgage Interest Statement" that TurboTax produces is for your records only and is not part of the tax return that goes to the IRS so entering the box 8 information into TurboTax would serve no useful purpose so TurboTax does not ask for it.

In the desktop version you can switch to the forms mode, select the "Mortgage Interest Statement" and enter that on line 8 if you wish. That would be for your information only and does not get sent to the IRS.

If your 1098 has Box 8 filled in, check to see if you clicked that Box 7 was checked on your 1098.
Hope this helps.
