I see exactly what it was. On the home mortgage interest worksheet - somehow (it could've been me) checked that the proceeds from this mortgage was used for other than the house - which disallowed the mortgage deduction. I corrected it and prepared the 1040x already (I worked for the IRS some 35 years ago so I have a basic knowledge of taxes)... just missed that box - if it was my fault. I had problems with TurboTax this year - I'm not sure if it's the Mac version or whatever - but on another return I was stuck in the EIC loop. Crazy. Thank you though - your advice was spot on.
