Deductions & credits

I am dealing with this now - a negative number for my interest.  it looks like it took the first 1098 and put it "-" before it, instead of combining my multiple 1098 forms.  After noticing this, I went back to check the 2020 tax returns, and son of a gun!!  It COMBINED the 1098 which then triggerd the 1MM limits, and in turn reduced my refund.   HOW IS THIS STILL A PROBLEM 2 YEARS LATER???
