The mortgage interest for your primary residence would only need to be added if you intend to itemize instead of taking the standard deduction. To itemize, your itemized deductions must exceed the follow numbers:
- Single and Married Filing Separately taxpayers: $14,600
- Married Filing Jointly taxpayers: $29,200
- those file as Head of Household: $21,900
You can check whether itemizing will benefit you by following these steps when trying to amend your return:
- Sign in to TurboTax
- Select Deductions and Credits
- Enter Mortgage Interest under Your home
- Add any additional deductions
If your itemized deductions does not exceed the standard deductions above, you do not need to amend your return to add the primary residence mortgage interest.
