Hello again,
And sorry for hijacking this thread.
Lender 2's starting principal is the same amount as our total loan amount with lender 1. The loan originated on 2.23.18, so prepaid interest was for the 5 days till the end of the month. That 1098 (lender 1) only has this interest paid and points (which seem to correspond to lender fee on our closing disclosure, not sure if I should enter the points on 1098 then, but I digress).
Second 1098 has interest paid for the rest of the year, but since they assumed the loan on 2.23.18, this date is in #3 as mortgage origination date, #2 outstanding balance on 1/1/18 is blank.
I am forced to leave the one of the 1098's loan amount as 0, to avoid being counted as 2 loans. I might have to call the bank(s) again to bring up the prepaid interest part.
Thank you for helping me through this!
