What is the mortgage origination date in box 3 of your Form 1098? If it's in 2018, leave box 2 blank. Do not enter zero. If the mortgage origination date is earlier than 2018, box 2 must have a non-zero value. Ask the lender for a 1098 that is filled out properly.
Since you are asking about a line of credit, note that you can only deduct the interest if you used the loan to "buy, build, or substantially improve" the home that the loan is secured by. If you used the line of credit for any other purpose, the interest is not deductible. See IRS Publication 936 for more details.
Mine is a negative number! I had overpaid so box 2 shows -18.62
TT only like 1.00 and greater. Should I just use 1.00??
