I don’t have option 5. I have “who is your mortgage lender”, “what kind of property do you have?”, “Do any of these situations apply?” Answered “My name is not on the 1098, or my name isn’t the first one listed on the 1098”, “Enter other person’s information” where I entered spouse’s name and address, “Let’s get the details from your “lender’s” 1098” where I provided information including only taxpayer’s share of interest, “is this loan secured by a property of yours” to which I answered “yes”, and completed “explain the difference” between the interest entered and form 1098. Some further questions which would have no affect on my issue.
The correct amounts flow to form IT-196 but it shouldn’t show the spouse as the payee.
