That is not the way I interpret the question.
First, the OP does not state where they are reading the question for box 7 ---the actual 1098 form or the TTax screen.
When I input my own 1098 information TTax simply asks IF "Box 7 is checked" --in other words TTax simply asks what did your lien holder enter on the 1098.
For box 7, the check-box means that the property securing the mortgage is the same as "PAYER'S/BORROWER's" address; OR the address is entered in box 8.
Since I LIVE at the address on the 1098 the box is NOT checked.
