i noticed that when i went through interview mode with the desktop version I entered the 1098 info. box 2 is the beginning of the year balance. to properly calculate the deductible amount of interest it needs to know the end of the year balance. I was never asked that question. in forms mode go to the home interest worksheet
on item F below line 13 enter the eoy balance
see if this works. i have not filed yet.
worse the omission passes the final review even if the mortgage balance is over $750K or $1,000K whichever is applicable to your mortgage
if not you'll need to contact support.
