Deductions & credits

It goes in the same area as your regular mortgage interest.  You will select the small link to Add a Lender to enter it.

To get to that area in TurboTax:  While inside the software and working on your return, type home equity loan in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to home equity loan.  Select that to get to the general area. 

Alternatively, you can go to:

  • Federal Taxes tab (Person in the Home & Business version)
  • Deductions and Credits
  • Your Home
  • Mortgage Interest and Refinancing 
The interest on up to $100,000 borrowed on a home equity loan or home equity line of credit, regardless of the reason for the loan, can be deducted in the Mortgage Interest section (Home Loan Deduction).
