Refinance Deduction & Previous Load

Hi,

 

When entering interest for our mortgage, Turbotax asks for a Mortgage acquisition date, and if Box 11 is blank, to leave it blank (Box 11 is blank).

 

Several screens later it's asking for details about the loan, and if it's a HELO, or a refinance of a previous loan.  Since this was a refinance in 2021, I answered yes to the refinance of a previous loan, but that feels like it should no longer apply for now.  Why is this being asked for, and do I still answer it as a refinance of a prior loan?  If so, this can go on for the next 7 or 8 years.  There were no points to spread out, no cash was taken out for anything else, etc..

 

Thanks

David
