Home mortgage interest deduction
I have a standard 15-year mortgage secured by my primary home. I took out the mortgage to do repairs on my summer home, which was in too rough shape to qualify for a mortgage. Last year Turbo Tax asked me, as part of the Home Mortgage worksheet, how much of the loan was used for repairs/upgrades to my main home. I said none, so I didn’t qualify for the deduction. This year it didn’t ask the question, and automatically assumed that I qualified for the deduction. I found the relevant form, saw a box that should’ve been checked, checked it, then went back to Easy Step. It changed the amount of my refund, but there are still mistakes on the forms. It still shows a mortgage allowance on Schedule A, which I can only see by clicking on it directly. It didn’t print out when I asked to print everything. I think there must be a glitch somewhere and I would like to get it resolved before exiling. Turbo Tax ran an error check and thinks everything is fine, but it clearly isn’t. Any thoughts?
