check with your servicer...note that the form requires the balance on the 1st day of 2018
from the way you posed the question, were you really asking about 1/1/18 or 1/1/19?
the link below is the 2019 version of this form.....thus if you look at the instruction on page 4 for Box 2 it states to list the 1/1/19 balance which means the 2018 form would state to list the 1/1/18 balance
