Firstly, both 1098s are from the same lender.
I deleted both 1098s and the Home Ins Worksheets, saved the file and quit Turbotax.
I then restarted TT and in Easy Step mode I started entering details of the first 1098.
I entered Box 1 and Box 2 but was never presented with the screen asking "WAS THIS LOAN PAID OFF OR SOLD IN 2019?"
I entered the remaining boxes and did this a second time for the second 1098.
Exactly the same results as before. 2020 Deductions and Credits summary showed the correct total amount for Mortgage Interest paid.
I switched to Forms mode. This time there were NO 1098 forms but there were two Home Mortgage Interest Worksheets. Once again, Sch A Line 8a showed the mysterious number $12,078!

I am right back where I was before with Sch A Line 8a showing the mysterious amount of $12,078!
