No, a plain 1098 from a mortgage lender. Had so many problems filing on 15 APRIL. I just kept going back until the correct screens popped up. About 15 times I had to jump back to the federal return to add things that got missed. 

 

Won't be so lazy next year and will file in March at the latest.

What kind?  A 1098 from a mortgage lender?  1098T from a college?   1098E from a student loan lender?

Is this a 1098-T?

 

That is entered under 

Deductions & Credits

Education

Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)   START or UPDATE

To enter your 1098:

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. Select Search, enter 1098, and select Jump to 1098. If that doesn't work:
    • Select either Tax Home or Federal, then Deductions & Credits.
    • Under Your Home (you may have to select See all tax breaks to find it), select Start or Revisit next to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098).  (You can click on the wastebasket icon to delete a 1098.)
  3. Answer Yes on the screen Did you pay any home loans in 2023?
  4. On the Let's import your tax info screen, enter the name of your lender to see if you can import your 1098.
    • If you can't or don't want to import, select Change how I enter my form to upload, take a picture of, or manually enter your 1098.
  5. Continue through the screens until your 1098 is added.
