It’s amazing how the ‘experts’ keep regurgitating the same thing over and over and it’s always wrong. I’m sure tons of people have paid more than they needed to in taxes.
Anyways, I’ve posted the solution to this a few years ago. Don’t add all the 1098 mortgage amounts together. Only use the starting mortgage and ending and add up all the interest and points and whatever else paid. That should work. Just enter it as a single form. Or you can do it manually in the actual worksheets and use separate 1098s. This is what I’ve done in the past and it’s a giant PIA because TurboTax will tell you there is an error in your forms since you’ll need to override the calculations.
