Box 2 is the amount of the loan as of January 1, 2019.  Since it was paid off during 2019, there would have still been a balance as of January 1st.  Your mortgage account or statement should show the outstanding amount at the beginning of the year.  It would be the same as the 2018 year-end amount.
