My eyes have been bleeding, trying to solve this problem. Like many of you, I have 3 1098s (loan was purchased shortly after refinancing). I spent 2 hours on the phone with TT the other day, and this woman tried everything to help me, to no avail.
Back at it this morning, and I found this thread. I reentered all of my 1098s, just as they read. Then went into ded home morg worksheet. CTRL-D and was able to override line 7 (average balance of debt acquired after 2017) to 0. I had no new debt after 2017, as it was a refi with no cash out. I have 0 red flags now, and am able to file.
Hope this helps!
