Deductions & credits

Thanks for your response, but I am not sure how best to move forward.  It seems there is an error in the program, because it will not allow me to enter the beginning balance of the loan on the form.  I tried deleting and entering again (twice), but it still does not allow me to enter the amount.  It seems the best way forward is to leave that blank, as it would be more inaccurate to combine with my other loan.  I did not use the home equity loan to purchase or improve the home, so I won't get the tax break, while my primary loan does give a tax break.  Would it be an issue to leave the beginning balance of the loan blank on the form?
