Hi, while I see the help file from turbotax mentioning that I should combine the mortgage interest in box 1 for all of my refinances (https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/loans/help/what-do-i-do-if-i-have-multiple-1098s-from-refinancing-...), I have a question that wasn't clearly addressed in the FAQ:
If we combine box 1 for the 1098 received for the original loan (that has been paid off due to the refinance), do we still need to enter 1098 received from the new lender for the refinance? And if so, do we still combine all of the box 1 for entering in the 1098 for the new lender?
So the scenario I am thinking of is: (1) you have a 1098 from your original lender A with $10,000 in box 1, (2) you have another 1098 from your refinance lender B with another $5,000 in box 1. (3) According to the instructions, when entering the 1098 from lender A, you would enter $15,000 ($10,000 + $5,000) in for Box 1. So after you have finished entering in the information for lender A's 1098, would you then do another entry for your lender B (the refinance lender) in which you would then enter $15,000 again for Box 1, or would you just not enter the 1098 for your lender B?
