Patricia --
Thank you for trying to help me, but it was still insisting on amortizing points and when I added the second 1098 (from the company that bought the loan) it was zeroing out the points altogether. I had initially written a reply to that effect. But in continuing to try things, I clicked on something that gave me a different help screen where it explained that both I paid points and I bought or improved my home with this loan had to be checked for the full amount to be shown. I guess at some point in my trying different things one had become unchecked. So I checked both boxes and finally, it allowed for deduction of the full amount paid in points.
