Mortgage interests deduction for married filling separately
I am married in 2021 and I want to fill as married filling separately.
I found that in "Federal Review" section, my itemized deduction is only $5000, while in "Deductions & Credits" section, I have more than $10k mortgage interest and more than $10k property taxes.
More specifically, in the Federal Review section, I saw, the Real estate taxes and State and local taxes add up to $5k, which is the cap for me. Mortgage interested is the same as what I entered (more than $10k). However, the total deduction is just $5k, so the mortgage does not actually count. That sounds like a software bug to be honest.
I tried to modify my status to be single and I got all of those tax deduction. My understanding is that I may have lower deduction caps but not losing them. Do I miss anything?
