I ended up manually manipulating my return after researching extensively. It is frustrating, what is even more frustrating is the so called TT experts. There were some good ones and some bad ones, but no one that could solve my problem completely. Even more frustrating was I did get on with a solid person who followed up on email and with calls. However, you can't call the people back and her messages were "reach out if you need more help" well you can't respond to the people directly... It was all too complicated.
For the record, I did painstakingly enter my information int H&R block online tax program and it caught and solved the mortgage interest right away...
