Get your taxes done using TurboTax
See earlier comments by me. TT program wrong or not updated.
My quess is that you entered all 4 mortgages on separate lines and TT doesn’t handle correctly.
First, put in the Lender name in first box, or use combined name if used more (e.g. . Citibank and Well Fargo) not really important what you use. Doesn’t show on 1040.
Box 1 - Use calculator or spreadsheet to add all 1098 interest paid amounts from all 1098s.
Box 2 - Enter 1/1/2020 mortgage principal amount (beginning principal amount).
Box 3 - Enter original mortgage date for the property. Probably on first mortgage loan before any refinancing. Not relevant to you as your loan is below 750000 principal amount; amounts above 750000 limits your interest deduction. By the way TT is adding up your 4/5 loan principal amounts of 360000 and showing your principal outstanding as 360000 times 4 or times 5 and is therefore limiting your interest deduction.
Property (real estate) taxes paid - once again add up all payments an enter within this 1098 detail screen on TT or enter on the specific real estate taxes line that in next on TT step by step question
post additional questions. If you enter on one line TT software will accept entire interest, which appears to be correct based upon your maximum balance
