Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response.  So, just to be clear, even though box 2 on the 1098 reads a certain about, I should just plug in 0?

on a similar note, if my mortgage was transferred to another lender during the year, do I also put $0 for box 2 on the new lender’s 1098?  
I could’ve sworn box 2 said “balance as of 1/1/2019 OR balance at the time of acquisition” - is that not right?

 

thanks!!!
