Deductions & credits

This is too stupid. I don't have a 1098 and I know we are not going to itemize. TT keeps asking me to fill in the mortgage interest from the 1098 when I only have the number on the December statement from the lender.  It won't let me put in the number. 

Waste of time! Dumbed down program - not smart software. 

(Lender's website is down too so I can't get a digital 1098 and what for anyway?)

So I'll just put zero and maybe I won't buy this software again this year.
