Deductions & credits

Are you getting an error that the interest you entered may be limited?

Do you get to the "Here's your 1098 info" screen? 

Does any 1098 show as "Needs review"

When you click "Done" on this screen, you should get to the “Do any of these situations apply to you?” screen. 

If you don't see this screen, your interest is not limited.
