@MikeDemler I just tried creating a brand new data file to recreate the way TurboTax automatically combined my multiple 1098s into a concurrent loan instead of one refinanced to the other so I can e-File an amendment (on another thread I was told I would have a big mess trying to e-File with a return that had been "fixed" prior to hitting the "amend" button within TurboTax once it is available on 2-28). Now the path I took is nonexistent. It appears they have removed the ability to enter multiple 1098s, and instead have a link to the instructions you pasted in one of the earlier posts that tells us to get our calculators out and add the 1098 interest paid in 2020 into one form.
This is so frustrating! Not only because my previous data file has been corrupted by so many changes I can't use it to "Amend" and I can't recreate the mistake in the new data file. On top of that, Turbo Tax is advising us to combine information from multiple 1098s that were reported to the IRS as separate reports of interest received by multiple financial institutions!!! I don't even understand how that is being put forth as any sort of solution when leaves so much room for error. TurboTax can't possibly guarantee calculations are correct if they are having taxpayers do calculations independent of the software. How can they guarantee we all have no mistakes when using a calculator and transferring that information to the questionnaire they are leading us through for something as important as our Home Mortgage Interest???
