Deductions & credits

Schedule A just reports one number. Everything else is worksheets behind the scenes. If you have a qualifying second home, you can deduct the mortgage interest and the easiest way is to simply add  a fake 1098.

Enter the second home, 

enter the interest information, 

yes secured - if it is, 

not heloc, etc.

IRS | Second Home
