Patricia, thank you for your well thought out response. Yes, I'm working solely on my 2022 tax return. The first 2 items that you listed are checked and verified. Item 3 is where the issue occurs. TurboTax asks me questions after each 1098 is entered. Based on those answers, it limits the deduction. I believe that, with the knowledge from Pub 936 & the CPA, the entire amount is deductible. Perhaps I'm not answering the questions correctly. Just for clarification, the first two 1098s are for our primary & second home. The third (time sequence) is the refi which paid off the primary & second home loans and is secured solely by the primary home. The fourth 1098 is the loan transfer. I did enter an override for the amount in Sked A worksheet and it 'red flagged' the entry. That concerns me but may be the only way. Again, thank you for your response.
