The interest paid on a loan for land purchase is not deductible as home mortgage interest since it is not secured by your main or second home. To be a home it must have sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities according to Publication 936.
You would not enter that form 1098 into TurboTax.
Once construction begins on a home on that land then the loan becomes secured by a home and deductible.
