Question regarding 1098 and how to allocate between 2 states
Went to school in PA, graduated May 2024. Moved June 2024 to MD. 1098 form has a lot of interest listed due to consolidation of loans that happened after moving to MD. I am entering this amount as my understanding is you should enter this amount/match 1098 even if it doesn't reflect "true" amount paid and is based on capitalization/consolidation (please correct if wrong).
My question is how to allocate the deduction/adjustment between the 2 states. School I attended was in PA, but consolidated after moving to MD-- should it all be applied to MD?
You allocate it based on where you were living when the payments were made.
They werent payments though-- they were just the lump sum listed related to interest capitalization due to loan consolidation and applying for PSLF-- amount is like 30k of capitalized interest that occurred all at once when I consolidated
