Is it legal to combine three 1098's into one? Does IRS allow this? Also, what should I enter as the Outstanding Mortgage Principal (box 2)? Average of three? The instructions you referenced states:
Next, finish adding info for boxes 2, 3, 7, and 11 using Form 1098 for the original loan.
How can I do this if box 2 is the principal, box 3 is the refinance date?
