Deductions & credits

No.  It should not be an issue to leave the beginning balance blank.  And yes, there is a known problem with Home Mortgage Deduction.  TurboTax is working to fix the problem and the many other issues. There are many changes due to the CARES Act that require software upgrades.  We have not been given an  expected date for the fix yet.  Please check back often to see if you can file your return.

 

Just be sure that your mortgage interest shown on the return is the amount you expect to deduct.
