Deductions & credits

Sold my (living) father's house July 2021. Rec'd a 1098 from the Reverse Mtg company. Mtg origination date April 2010 (before the rule change). The 1098 includes the cumulative amounts for interest and MIP. This was a Line of Credit mortgage to use equity in the house, i.e., not a refi of the original loan (1973) or to pay for improvements. Given that the interest is not deductible, when Turbo Tax asks Any 1098? Yes/No, do I answer "No" and not complete any info?  Isn't the 1098 submitted by the mtg company to the IRS?
